A cluster of five ring-barrows (LI024-171001/005-) lie 70m to SW, a cluster of barrows and earthwork (LI024-058001/004-; LI024-293/294----) lie 150m to SE. Not depicted on OS historic mapping. Identified by the Bruff aerial photographic survey in 1986 (Bruff 107; AP4/3676) as a large sub-circular shaped area enclosed by a fosse, intersected by Reask River at N. Monument is not visible on Google Earth orthoimage taken 18/11/2018 or on Digital Globe orthophotos taken 2011-2013. Cropmark unconvincing evidence for the presence of an archaeological monument at this location.
