The round barrow described above, which is likely to be of Bronze Age date, is visible on aerial photographs (S4) and on imagery from a recent lidar survey (S5). The outer bank is clearest on the 1940s aerial photographs; traces of a possible inner ditch are visible on the lidar, but their archaeological nature is uncertain.
