Eileen Roche has been searching for this mound for some years, enlisting the help of the land agent for the Albury estate, from whom permission was gained to visit. Access to the estate is allowed in order to visit the old parish church, via the road at TQ057478. The church is small but interesting, with Turkish inspired architecture and Masonic connections.
From the church, follow the footpath south up the hill to the summit shown on the Explorer maps as 122m. The remains of the mound are about 30m off the path in the bushes to the right. There is not much to see, but we are fairly confident we have located a raised circular area about 10m across with a clump of notably different bushes growing on it.
There are some wonderful old trees over to the east of the estate, making for a lovely walk if not very fulfilling from a prehistoric point of view.
