From Pastscape: "Ploughed out round barrow, visible on OS air photographs. No trace on ground but in a good false crest position. The well defined cropmark shown on the air photographs in corn stubble indicates a ditched round barrow c.39.0m in overall diameter with a c.24.0m diameter mound and what appears to be a circular central pit c.8.0m across. It lies in an undulating and regularly cultivated arable field. Ring ditch of former round barrow visible as a cropmark." http://www.pastscape.org.uk/hob.aspx?hob_id=417904
