At HU 4896 5452 there is a setting of stones protruding through the turf in the shape of a boat with both ends pointed, and measuring 8.0m by 2.0m, on quite level ground just below a small hillock. According to local information, Mr J R C Hamilton visited the site, and considered that it was possibly a Viking boat burial.
