The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture on slight W facing slope, on the demesne lands of Elm Park House located 130m to N. No surface remains visible. This is the central monument of three earthworks or designed landscape features (LI012-047----, LI012-50----) forming a line running NW-SE for a distance of c. 293m. Possible designed landscape feature (LI012-047----) lies 92m to NW and a second landscape feature (LI012-050---) 166m to SE. Depicted on the 1897 OS 25-inch map as a small circular mound (approx. diam. 8m) enclosed by a ditch (approx. Wth 6m) which suggests a possible barrow classification. Levelled monument not visible on Digital Globe taken 2011-13. Possible designed landscape feature or possibly the remains of a small prehistoric barrow.
