Description
Two mounds adjoining, probably boundary mounds (B2).
Known locally as the 'Swanbourne Tumps', the 2 mounds lie either side of parish boundary. The relationship between the 2 mounds is unclear (B3).
Both mounds shown on 1599 Salden Estate Map along with the field name ‘Windmill hill field’ (B4).
The southern mound measures length 30 m x width 23m and is oval in plan form. It is also slightly elongated N-S. Has a concave top. There is ridge and furrow adjoining the base of the mound, and it is built partly on ridge and furrow and a headland (B3).
Partly bulldozed (B4).
Now levelled (B5).
Profile is still visible. Two pieces of millstone grit were recovered from the site (B6).
