Excavation, 1913
A mound, measuring 64 feet north-south x 60 feet east-west, 3.5 feet high.
The mound was excavated 1913 and there was no evidence for a burial. The only finds were medieval pottery (detailed in EHER 1683). <1>-<4>
The result of the excavation was both disappointing and indefinite, in that, though we were able to prove the mound to be non-sepulchral and comparatively modern, we were quite unable to ascertain what its original purpose may have been. <2>
