MSO7464 - Natural feature north of Kennisham View (Monument)

There is an oval clump of trees at SS 9789 3662 some of which are planted along an artificial bank. There are some shallow excavations at the west end which appear quite recent. The tithe map states that this field is called Borough Close which may suggest a barrow - or that the shape suggested one. [1,2] The site consists of a tree covered mound which appears to be a natural feature. There is no erosion to the mound which is ovate rather than round. Very unlikely to be a barrow.
