A post-1700 linear drainage channel to W is visible as a cropmark on aerial photographs and on the revised edition of the OS 6-inch map. One of five mounds recorded as feature G01F003 in 2012 LiDAR Survey (Motherway 2012, 77, 276). Four mounds or possible barrows (LI022-258-/59-/60-/61-) are visible on OSi orthophotos taken 2005-12. On this aerial photograph three possible barrows are roughly aligned on a NW-SE axis. Earthwork visible on OSi aerial photographs taken 2005-2012, present remains consist of a low circular-shaped mound (approx. int. diam. 7m) enclosed by a ditch (approx. Wth 1m) immediately E of a post-1700 field drainage ditch. Original watercourse of the Camoge River can be seen closer to the possible barrows on OSi aerial photographs 2005-2012.
