Summary

A possible mound, perhaps the remains of a Bronze Age round barrow, is visible as a low earthwork on imagery from a lidar survey flown in 2015. It is one of a group of three possible mounds (with NHER 61557 and NHER 62478), which forms an outlying part of a more extensive group of mounds (NHER 62464), which itself may represent a large round barrow cemetery. As the lidar survey was flown relatively recently, it is likely that the earthwork still survives.
