[SJ 9709 7646] (2) "Conical tumulus, in a field opposite
the Blue Boar farm which has been more or less Disturbed." (1-2)

At SJ 97077636. The mound is oval with axes of 38.0 m. and 27.0 m.
It is 2.3 m. high.
Though remarkably like a barrow it is almost certainly part of an
irregular natural feature which extends to the south. (3)

SJ 9708 7638. Bowl barrow 160m S of Blue Boar Farm. Scheduled RSM
No 22569. An oval mound of earth and stones up to 2m high with
maximum dimensions of 31.5m by 29m. Antiquarian records describe
the site as 'more or less disturbed' in 1878 suggesting previous
investigation. There was an unrecorded investigation in 1972 and
a shallow hollow 3m in diameter and 0.3m deep SW of the summit may
be associated with this. (4)
