This feature is also visible on the 1st edition 0S 25 inch map, although it is not annotated as a tumulus (2). It is actually a low mound, ovoid in plan with a flat top. It measures approximately 24m x 19m with the long axis aligned NNE-SSW. It does not appear like a typical round barrow and may be a prospect mound associated with Highcliffe gardens.
