Full Description
A saltmound of medieval or post-medieval date is visible as an earthwork on 1940s RAF vertical aerial photography [1]. The mound elongated kidney-shaped in plan and measures 90m (N-S) x 57m (E-W). Examination of modern aerial photographs indicates that this feature has since been levelled [2].
A transcription of the features recorded from aerial photography exists within a GIS layer held by this HER [2].
This is likely to be one of the 16 saltmounds referred to in TR 26 SW 5.
