Two barrows and a ring-ditch have been recorded as cropmarks on oblique aerial photography (RCAHMSAP 1996, 2000) lying on undulating ground to the W of Courage (NH95NW 48). The terminals of the ditches appear to expand slightly. The ring-ditch measures about 14m in diameter within a ditch about 2m wide with an entrance gap on the NW. The barrows lie about 70m and 150m to the WNW. Both measure about 8m in diameter within apparently continuous ditches. A cropmark representing what may be a central burial can be seen within the centre of the W barrow.
