Description

Possible prehistoric barrow recorded in field survey but probably a windmill mound Dimensions - Radius 0950 Height 0120 cm 1 OR POSSIBLY A CONTIGUOUS PAIR OF BARROWS VISIBLE ON APS (B1). SINGLE LOW MOUND STILL VISIBLE C.1.5M HIGH, 18M DIAMETER. NO VISIBLE DITCH. SMALL TREE ON TOP; FIELD PLOUGHED UP TO EDGE OF MOUND. COULD BE BARROW (B2). Tom Clark asserts that mound appears to be the focus for Roman roads from Thornborough, Stone and Thame, all of which are visible as stone scatters in ploughsoil (B4). An association with the mound would seem unlikely as 1940s RAF vertical APs appear to show the mound sitting on top of ridge and furrow (B1).
