An oval mound circa 10m wide and 12m long is visible on aerial photographs of 1946 as a subtle earthwork. The earthwork is interpreted as the remains of a barrow of Bronze Age Date. The mound is not identifiable as a coherent earthwork on images derived from aerial photographs of 2018, but a subtle earthwork visible in this location on images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017 might indicate that the mound survived golf course landscaping in a mutilated form.
