Summary

A possible mound, perhaps the remains of a Bronze Age round barrow, is faintly visible as a low earthwork on imagery from a lidar survey flown in 2015. It forms 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. It is, however, so diminutive and poorly defined that its archaeological significance is uncertain.
