Summary : A ditchless oval mound, possibly a long barrow but more probably a mis-shapen round barrow.
More information : [ST 4843 5549] Tumulus [G.T.]. (1) T 1866, O.G.S. Crawford thought this "almost certainly a barrow, possibly long", and A.T. Wicks agrees. Tratman however, describes it as "alleged long barrow, doubtful. Perhaps a natural mound". "Round barrow near Longwood", scheduled. (2-4) This is a ditchless oval mound 1.1m high. It is certainly artificial and may be a long barrow but is more probably a mis-shapen round barrow. Published survey (1/2500) revised. Listed by Grinsell as Cheddar 17.
