Earthworks of three mounds of an unknown, but possible later prehistoric date, are visible on recent (2017) visualised lidar data (S1). The date and function of the mounds is unknown. It is possible that the mounds could be later prehistoric in date due to the position of the features to the earthworks of a former watercourse and to an area of burnt flint, which may have related to the site of a possible burnt mound, previously recorded to the southwest of the features (see NHER 31955, S1). However, a later date or a more recent modern date for the features cannot be ruled out. As the features are seen as earthworks on the recent (2017) visualised lidar data (S1), it is likely that the features still survive as earthworks.
