Full Description
An earthwork hollow is visible on aerial photographs at this location, probably the site of a post-medieval chalk pit, although a disturbed barrow mound cannot be ruled out either. {1-2}
A soil mark visible on an aerial photograph (FR80/7) taken by Francesca Radcliffe on 15 November 1991. Possibly the much-disturbed remains of a round barrow, but doubtful. <3>
