Round Barrow in Berkshire

This Bronze Age bell barrow is located on one of the courtyards of Heatherwood Hospital in Ascot. The mound is in good condition, it is about 1,5 m high, the quarry ditch is destroyed. Near the barrow there is an information table set to be visible from the hospital corridor.

There were other Bronze Age barrows in the nearby, all of them were destroyed during construction of the hospital.

I wonder if this hill is protected in any way?
The area where it sits is due to be redeveloped into housing.
