This tumulus, which is given added drama by the pines on its summit, is a feature of views from the road and footpaths which cross the parkland. It is known as Green Hill and its origins are unknown - it may be a Roman beacon, a burial mound, the base of a post-mill or simply a garden feature from the earlier house (see PRN 41712). {3}
