What is recorded here
Situated on grassland 210m SE of Rock Brook House. Outlined as a circular earthwork on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map with similar earthwork (WM010-016----) 110m to the N. Not depicted as an antiquity on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map. Present remains consist of a circular shaped mound (diam. 17m) defined by a scarp with a shallow external fosse. There are traces of cultivation ridges on the mound and in the surrounding field. It is possible that it is a mound-barrow which was landscaped as a tree ring associated with Rock Brook House in the post-1700 period.
