'Four barrows (48-51) lie in the N. of the parish, scattered along a N.-S. ridge about 300 ft. O.D., among the much ploughed remains of ‘Celtic’ fields (Group (45)). An air photograph (Camb. Univ. Colln. AGT 18) suggests the possibility of two more barrows … the other 115 yds. to the N.N.E. (74139703).'
