Well yes, it's certainly a mound :-) but is it ancient? It looks a bit too regular. Square ended It could be something made by the Water board.

You said it was in Cumbria? (NW England)

(2004-05-02) | Hi, the Mound in the pic is called "the ant hill", as far as i know (i could be wrong) it was built about 150 yrs ago, and is a river defence.
In the photo, just to the left, there is a flood plain, every winter and spring it floods.
I think it was put there when croppers altered the course of the kent.
I live 100 ft from it, and i used to play on there when i was a kid, as a teenager i went over it with a metal detector and found a few coins with 1868 on them, so i would say they were from the workmen that built it.
Hope this helps
