What is recorded here

On a gentle W-facing slope in grassland. A poorly preserved subcircular flat-topped earthen mound (base Wth 13.5m N-S; top 2.8m; max. H 1.7m). Hawthorn trees are growing on it at NE, SE and W. According to local information, unbaptised children were buried here (see GA108-204002-); the area underwent extensive field clearance and the mound was formerly surrounded by trees.
