In the 1930s, two large sarsen boulders were reported to be on its southern side, but there's no sign of them today. T.C. Lethbridge in 1957 related the tradition that the Danes had once skinned a young shepherd on its slopes, but when I first visited it in the 1970s, the house owner had only heard that it was "where the Saxons were buried."
Although on private property, the mound can be seen from the gateway, or through the thin hedge beside the footpath.
