Full Description

Circular flat-topped mound truncated by FC ride (only three quarters left). Approximately 30m diameter and 1.5m high. Mutilated also on N side by ?FC vehicle which appears to have been driven over/against mound. Section shows sand construction (S1).
It is possible this is a pillow-mound for breeding rabbits and fits the flat- topped form described by Williamson and Loveday, 1988 (R1).
Location as plotted (S1) needs checking, possibly inaccurate (S2).
