This area was examined as part of the National Mapping Programme. It was possible to make out some evidence of a possible mound on aerial photographs (S3), centred on TM 0832 9087, although it was considered more likely to be a modern agricultural mound, and has not been mapped.
E. Bales (NMP), 7th June 2012.
