There is evidence of a burnt mound in an area that has been severely affected by forestry ploughing. It lies on the W side of Hitteril Hill, within Watermeetings Forest. To the S is an unnamed spring course, and the site lies in an area of forest that has been clear felled and re-planted. Heat reddened burnt stones were recorded where the earth had been upturned for re-planting. The full extent of the mound isnot clear,but it does spread for several metres. No charcoal was found during limited trials to test for the deposit.
