Full Description

Pre C17 artificial mound, 60ft in diameter, 4.5ft high. Excavation revealed no relics. Purpose unknown. Suggested mark mound. (1)
Mound now demolished and site under high wheat crop. The farmer (16 years resident) cannot recall a feature here and has found nothing during normal ploughing in the field which is not named. The topographical situation plus the availability of an adjacent track suggest the mound may have carried a mill. (1) not available for comment. (2)
Fox covert. In mound on Northern corner. Gazebo c1780-1840 and pottery fragments of same period. Destroyed in part by fire. (3)
Mound, 60 feet diameter, excavation by H.O.H. Produced no finds. Mound was composed of sand and clay. Late C18th/C19th structure built of wood on brick was apparent. (4)
