Description

An arcuate bank on the N side of a track, the remains of a mound largely destroyed by the track's construction. It measures 11m (E-W) by 4.5m. Its gravel texture and proximity to a stream suggest a burnt mound of which there are others in the vicinity. Its ring-like appearance results from material taken from it for metalling.
