The National Monuments Service's description

This record was listed as 'Mound' in the SMR (1990) and the RMP (1997). This is one of a group of four such mounds (see KE031-005----; KE031-006----; KE031-007----) marked on the 1898 OS 6-inch map (it is not on the 1st edition map). The likelihood is that these are boundary mounds and as such are not archaeological monuments.
