Full Description
10 October 1982. North of Townhouse Farm, across drive.
Mound, approximately 1.5m high. About 6m wide at base, surrounded by apparent ditch possibly with outer bank; all under pasture. Ordnance Survey 6in marks roofless building just to north but does not look like result of modern disturbance, especially as all grassed.
Not like mill mound. Possibly a barrow?
Visit by E. Rose (NAU) 10 October 1982.
April 1989.
Details still the same. No sign of mutilation. Aerial photograph would be helpful. Would accept as barrow.
J. Wymer (NAU) 24 July 1989.
March 2003.
Misshapen mound surrounded by farm debris, no sign of ditch or outer bank as noted in 1982 and 1989. Owner states that the mound is the upcast from a pit dug by him after World War Two. He has lived in the farm all his life, and prior to the deposition of spoil there was never any suggestion of a mound in this field.
H. Paterson (A&E) 19 March 2003.
