October 1975. Possible barrow seen from train.
Beaker sherds previously found nearby (NHER 5595). Probably not barrow but sandy knoll some 50m x 20m. Similar knoll at east end of field. Ground undulates dramatically as in typical Breck. Under young cereal.
A. J. Lawson (NAU), 5 March 1976.

Agree probably natural, an aeolian feature like many others in area, though this one is the most barrowlike of them.
J. Wymer (NAU), 29 September 1983.
