Summary
A low earthwork mound was identified during a rapid survey in 1998. The mound is probably a Neoltihic and/or Bronze Age round barrow. This barrow, along with NHER 32594, NHER 33453 and NHER 61532 form a small barrow cemetery (NHER 61535), which is itself located in close proximity to numerous other barrows, forming a dispersed cemetery landscape group (NHER 61484) in this area.

The earthworks of this barrow are visible on the 0.5m resolution Lidar data (S2) [1]. The mound appears to be oval and approximately 37m by 29m, although the lidar data is slightly hard to decipher confidently. The oval mound could suggest a Neolithic date.
This barrow, along with NHER 32594, NHER 33453 and NHER 61532 form a small barrow cemetery (NHER 61535), which is itself located in close proximity to numerous other barrows, forming a dispersed cemetery landscape group (NHER 61484) in this area.
