Earth mound near Fosse Farm, Wolston

1 A mound approximately 30m in diameter seen on aerial photographs 200m to the north west of Fosse Farm was mapped as part of the English Heritage National Mapping Project. The relationship between the mound and the surrounding ridge and furow ploughing is not clear but on balance the mound appears to sit on top of the ridges and is
probably later than them. There is no other evidence to indicate the mound’s use so the two possibilities offered, “windmill mound” and “pillow mound” are speculative.
