Grid Ref : SO3264093090
Summary : Site of a natural mound with possible encircling bank and ditch seen as earthworks.
More information : (Area centred: SO 32639309) Mound (1)

A large mound at SO 32669310 is more likely to be a Motte than
a Tumulus. (2)

A whale-backed mound approxiamtely 50.0m long, 40.0m wide and
5.0m high, at SO 32649309. It is almost certainly a natural
feature. (3)

The mound described by the previous authorities was seen as
earthworks and mapped from aerial photographs during the Marches
Uplands Mapping Project. It appears to be enclosed on its
southern and western sides by a ditch and bank and may therefore
not be entirely of natural origin.
