What is recorded here

In poorly drained grassland atop low rise of ground with good views in all directions. Overgrown monument consists of a raised circular area (approx. int. diam. 10m NE-SW; 12m E-W; overall diam. 20m N-S; 30m E-W) enclosed by a bank with sunken interior. Rectangular trench (dims. 14m L x 4m Wth; D 0.7m) running E-W cut into SE quadrant of interior probably to accommodate construction of electricty pole recently erected on the monument. Interior impossible to examine due to dense cover of vegetation. Location and small size of interior as well as local placename 'The Mount' suggests a possible barrow classification. Present road intersects W side of mound on a NW-SE axis as indicated on first edition OS 6-inch map. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011
