(NH 6266 3342) 'Gravel pit may have been a burial'.
Information from Major C J Shaw to OS 5 February 1962.
At NH 6269 3341 is what appears to be a natural mound that has been largely quarried away in the course of road building, leaving a semi circular rim, on the north side of the road, on which some road building material has been dumped. Similar effects have been created elsewhere along the roadside and there is no evidence of a burial in this instance.
Visited by OS (R D L) 28 August 1963.
Field Visit (17 November 1992)
