    From Pastscape:

    "A Neolithic long barrow, Grinsell's Bishops Cannings 91, is situated on Horton Down. It was possibly excavated by Thurnam in the mid-19th century, who reported finding skeletons in a long mound on Horton Down. Although now plough-damaged, the barrow is visible on air photographs, as a mound, with vestiges of side ditches, measuring 40m by 15m."
