A round barrow was visible on aerial photographs and was subsequently excavated at Lord of the Manor near Ozengell. It is one of the Lord of the Manor barrow group.

The site was not excavated during the 1970s and 1980s as were the other barrows in the group as it is a scheduled monument.

"The ring-ditched enclosures marked as LOM 1-6 are part of a possibly middle, certainly late neolithic to early Bronze Age ceremonial landscape in use between c. 2800-1700 BC. Of these LOM1, 2D, 3A and 2 smaller ring-ditches were entirely stripped and excavated in 1976 and 1977, LOM 5 [this site] sample trenched during the 1980s and LOM 6 remains unexcavated as a Scheduled Monument."
