A saltmound of medieval or post-medieval date is visible as a soilmark on 1940s RAF vertical aerial photography [1]. It is irregularly-shaped in plan and measures 57m (N-S) x 45m (NE-SW). The precise date of the features is unclear but they are likely to be medieval in date. The site is not visible on the Ordnance Survey 1877 edition [2].
A transcription of the features recorded from aerial photography exists within a GIS layer held by this HER [3].
This is likely to be one of the 16 saltmounds referred to in TR 26 SW 5.
