Full Description

Circular earthwork mound, to the south of Covenham St Mary. The mound is approximately 100ft in diameter, 10ft high, and has a large, flat top. Interpreted as the possible remains of a prehistoric round barrow, or alternatively as the possible remains of a medieval or post-medieval mill mound (or indeed, both uses may have occurred). Identified on aerial photography examined as part of the National Mapping Programme. {1} The earthwork remains very prominent, as seen on recent aerial photography. It is surrounded by the remains of medieval ridge and furrow, which also survives very well in this vicinity (see MLI87808). {2}{3}
