Round Barrow in Northamptonshire

Surrounded by a wooden fence and covered in trees and foliage, there's not much to see here at first, but if you get closer, the Bronze Age bowl barrow can be clearly seen rising to a height of around 2 m. The Historic England website (List entry Number: 1013321) says there's a 2 m ditch around it and gives the diameter of the mound as 20m. Pastscape (monument no. 343447) says the mound is "2.2m high and 15m in diam. and no ditch is visible." I didn't measure the diameter myself, but certainly no ditch was visible, though that could have been due to the undergrowth covering it.
