Full Description
{1} Mound (?)(SP 82927708) described as a tumulus. There is no evidence for a tumulus and there may be a confusion between this and [RN:8277001]. The site is under a modern house, and there is now a scarp, slightly curved 1.5 m. high, on the north side of the house which may be the remains of a mound. On air photographs taken before the construction of the house this scarp appears to be part of a headland associated with the adjacent ridge-and-furrow.
