A sub-circular cropmark is visible on 1960s Ordnance Survey aerial photography [1]. The feature measures 88m (N-S) x 5m (E-W). It is interpreted as the plough-levelled remains of a saltmound of probable medieval date.
A transcription of the features recorded from aerial photography exists within a GIS layer held by this HER [2].
This is likely to be one of the 16 saltmounds referred to in TR 26 SW 5.
