Full description
If you do not understand anything on this page please contact us.
A sub-circular cropmark is visible on 1940s RAF aerial photography [1]. The feature measures 88m (NNW-SSE) x 51m (WNW-ESE). It is interpreted as the plough-levelled remains of a saltmound of probable medieval date. The feature was 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.
