Full description
GetMapping, 1999 - 2000, Millennium Map 1999-2000 Getmapping (Aerial Photograph). SDV321648.
An earthern mound is visible on the 1999-2000 aerial image. The mound has likely been effected by ploughing which would have caused a spread of the earth, therefore, it is hard to gauge the original diameter, but what is visible is approximately 34 metres across.
