Mound 220 yards north-north-west of the church is a prehistoric or early medieval earthwork situated in Leicestershire. The monument consists of a substantial mound, the precise dating and original function of which remain matters for archaeological investigation, though such features in this region often relate to burial practices or defensive structures from the Bronze Age through to the Anglo-Saxon period. The mound survives as a significant upstanding earthwork within the local landscape, preserving evidence of early settlement or ceremonial activity. Its designation as a scheduled ancient monument reflects its archaeological importance and the need to protect this surviving physical record of Leicestershire's pre-Norman heritage.
