Full Description
Mound, low circular, circa 15m diameter and 1.5m high. Bounded by a shallow ditch circa 2m by 0.5m to the N, S and E with rather shapeless pond to the W. The land to the E was clearly once part of the garden of Berghersh House Farm (circa 1820). Interpret as possible garden feature for gazebo, less likely interpretations as mill mound (no surface features) or ice house (probably not high enough, no visible entrance).
Note possible location of Chapel of St Thomas in this area (see WTN Misc).
