Please read our guidance about the use of Northamptonshire Historic Environment Record data.
Summary
Earthwork of a mound. It may have originally been circular but appears to have been considerably mutilated. It is possible that it is a Bronze Age round barrow, but there are a number of WWII earthworks in the vicinity, so it is possible hat it has a more modern origin.
