Monument record MDO744 - Mound, Cerne Abbas

A mound of uncertain nature and date. Close to a group of Bronze Age round barrows, and this may be another barrow. The feature is visible as a sub-circular banked earthwork on Environment Agency lidar imagery and is considered to possibly be a Bronze Age barrow. It was digitally plotted from this source during the Dorset Upper Cerne and Piddle AIM project.
