(TL 95036647) Tumulus (NR) (1)

A large conical mound of loose earth, overgrown with trees, measuring circa 27.0m in diam. and 4.5m high. The sharply defined top is flat, circa 4.0m in diam, with no evidence of mutilations. There is no trace of a ditch. Finds from the mound during field investigation included brick, tiles and one piece of oyster shell.

The mound cannot be defined with certainty, but the most likely explanation is that it is a Mount associated with, and visible from Little Haugh Hall, an 18th century house.
Published survey (1:2500) revised. (2)

Listed as a possible motte by Cathcart King. (3)
