{1} SP65256346. A mound about 2ft high was observed within pasture in January 1970. It is possibly a barrow, which would account for the kink in the adjacent Roman road (doubtful if the road at this point is Roman).
{2} Mound (SP 65256348),lies on the N side of the road to Whilton on glacial gravel at 130m above OD.It is 7m in diam. and 0.5m high and lies across the assumed line of the Roman Road 17; the present road is diverted around it.It stands on the end of a block of ridge and furrow orientated N-S and is probably medieval or later though this is not certain.
