Earthworks of round barrow, visible on the 1946 RAF aerial photographs (S4) and Ordnance Survey aerial photographs from 1969 (S5). The diameter of the mound appears to be around 23m. The exact dimensions are hard to discern, due to the surrounding vegetation, although this size is consistent with previous dimensions given.
