Robin Hood's Tump SJ575599 - the remains of a bowl or round barrow (National Monuments Record gives it as a bowl barrow), over a possible settlement, not far off the A51 near Tilstone Fearnall. The access was surprisingly good - on a very wide corner, giving plenty of space for unobtrustive parking. Largely unremarkable, given no burials have been found here, but as I have spent longer, and searched harder trying to find much less, this was a rewarding bump to find! Given the heavy tree covering, late autumn / winter is best for a visit - but mind the brambles - I got very well scratched even through trousers! The mound is also topped by a "Ministry of Works" sign, denoting it as a scheduled ancient monument, and it is partitioned off well from adjoining fields, so it should be afforded protection for a long, long time.
