The National Monuments Service's description
In reclaimed wet pasture, 50m W of watercourse, a possible barrow (LI040-155----) lies 130m to the SW. Not marked on OSi historic maps. Identified by the Bruff aerial photographic survey in 1986 (Bruff 84; AP 5/2108) as an earthwork complex. Linear cropmarks visible perpendicular to each other on Digital Globe orthoimage taken between 2011-13 may represent a relic watercourse in S quadrant and a relic post-1700 field boundary in N quadrant.
See attached Bruff aerial photograph and Google Earth orthoimages.
