Full Description
(SY 74239938) U mound. Except for position near the bottom of a coombe, like a barrow. Diameter 30ft. height 1ft. <1>
Siting correct. The mound is grass covered with many flints exposed. Diameter 10.0 metres, height 1.0 metres. A doubtful barrow. <2>
There is nothing in the vicinity that resembles a barrow, and it is a most unlikely position for one. No evidence on air photographs. <3>
