Notes
HER: An earthen mound, now heavily disturbed, is most probably the remains of a prehistoric barrow. It lies on the edge of marshy ground in a slight natural silted floodplain. It measures 20m by 18m and a maximum 0.8m high. The inner core has been dug into - perhaps the product of an unrecorded excavation. Spoil from this digging has been dumped o the southern crest and edges of the mound. Apart from three small boulders on the SE side there is no visible trace of stone in the turf-covered mound.References
