Oval mark on the corner of a field, on the site of a barrow (OS field sheet); the mark may be superficial, perhaps caused by a tractor. (1)
A possible ring ditch is visible on the 1940s aerial photos a little further south-west of the above. Is these are both barrows, it could show the extent of the barrow cemetery identified 200m to the north-east.
