Looking north over the top of the mound. The wooded hill on the right is called Noggin Hill. The pond is described as a ‘kettle-hole lake’.

Another cropped pano, this time looking west. Both bank and mound seem to be constructed of stone and soil, the mound rising 3 metres above the bottom of the ditch. The hill in the distance is at Fore.

Erosion on the mound. There are quite a few large stones around the mound, well in from the bank and ditch, almost like a kerb.

Cropped pano, looking north-east. The site is a bowl barrow, so-called because of its upturned bowl shape. It was my first site of the day on a journey through the midlands and is well worth a stop-off if you’re in the vicinity.
