Trust for Wessex Archaeology, 1986, Dorset Barrow Survey (Index). SDO134.
‘Visible as faint rises, the most northerly cut by the E boundary bank of Hanover Copse. They lie within the acute NE angle of the copse and may be barrows damaged by the construction of the copse. These small mounds are a characteristic size for barrows within this group. The trees within this group are mature beech and oak. 7/5/D.’
