Summary

A possible small, low mound is faintly visible on imagery from a 2015 lidar survey. Its archaeological significance is uncertain, and it could be of natural origin. It could instead, however, like other more prominent mounds identified in the vicinity, form part of what appears to be a large, dispersed, Bronze Age round barrow cemetery (NHER 62464). The feature is likely to still survive as an earthwork.
