No traces of the postulated round barrow described above, which is recorded as a windmill mound elsewhere (NMR TG 23 NW 31), could be identified on aerial photographs of the area. Two earthwork mounds have been idenfied further to the south (NHER 38620) but these appear to relate to a military training area and there is no evidence that either of them is a mutilated round barrow. In addition, had an earthwork barrow survived at the site until 1946, it might be expected to have been depicted on Ordnance Survey maps up until that date.
