Three mounds were identified during an earthwork survey carried out ahead of a planning application for a golf course. They were numbered 52-54. 52 was a slightly elongated and reggularly shaped feature, 15m in diameter, its W end merges with the slope but the E edge is 0.3m above the adjacent ground surface. 53 was sub-circular 18m x 12m, about 0.3m high. 54 was a sub-circular 13m x 12m slightly elongated feature extending downslope. Its W end merges with the slope. All three features are degraded by ploughing.
