A probable Bronze Age barrow is seen as earthwork on aerial photographs (S3-S4). The barrow has been previously recorded from field visits (see above) and is scheduled. The barrow is obscured by tree cover on the 1940s aerial photographs and can be seen clearly as an earthwork on recent (2016) aerial photographs.
