Summary
In 1997 a rapid identification survey of the adjacent woodland noticed a low mound in this area, which may be the remains of a Bronze Age round barrow. See NHER 61570 for discussion of this possible earthwork. Metal detecting between 1989 and 1990 recovered a Roman coin, a medieval gilt copper alloy disc, and a 13th century ring brooch.
