Round Barrow in Warwickshire. This site was excavated by supposed archeologists from Birmingham in the mid 20th century. They spread the mound in excavating so I don't know if there was a proper study done.
At the moment it looks like the local farmer has sectioned it off for his retirement bungalow site, within 20 yards of road with young trees planted on top of spread.
