Not much hope for pond barrows then ,
Indeed! Or some beginning to be identified in the western peaks which maybe never went much above 0.5metres high. Those ones are less than 20 miles from Church Lawton.

Well exactly, if it's something unusual surely it should get more than 'if height = less than (some random amount we've decided on) then Computer Says No.

It's not like the thing hasn't been excavated, and that report in the bulletin suggested it was Interestingly Different with the big stones. If that's not enough for EH then there's no hope for it is there.

It's not like a run-of-the-mill ploughed out round barrow, but it's being treated like one.
