Notes about this historic site

1 On the E of the road from Radway to Kineton is a round mound. It is near the road, but beyond the hedge. It is easily found as it is planted with trees. It marks the spot where the King stood.
2 The site of the King’s Standard is marked just W of Radway Church on the map attached to the OS card. This is centred at the above grid reference and a small group of trees is marked here on the OS 1:10560. The site fits the description in 1 and this was possibly the site of the mound.
3 OS Card.
