(Centred ND 3805 5500) Grass-covered mounds, between 4 and 5m across, surrounded by flat ditches and lying 6 to 12m apart. Possibly beacons.
C E Batey 1981.
The mounds at ND 3808 5498 are as described and planned by Miss Batey. They appear to be modern, 19th / 20th century and constructed for uncertain military purposes. The drainage ditch is later than the mounds.
