A possible Bronze Age round barrow is visible as an earthwork on lidar imagery from a survey flown in 2015 (S1). The site forms part of a possible barrow cemetery NHER 61509. It is likely that any earthworks still survive, but their identification as being of archaeological significance is uncertain. For example, the barrow is not visible on aerial photographs taken in 1993 (S2), despite the area having been clear felled. The feature has been mapped as oval in plan, and it could represent a Neolithic oval barrow, but it is poorly defined on the lidar imagery and its plan too is uncertain.
