Writing in 1928, Victor Strode Manley, as part of his Regional Survey Of Warminster And District, gave the following description of Tytherington:
A large round barrow has survived many centuries in a field on the Sutton side, seen from the road just before reaching the watercress bed. (See sketch in my “Prehistoric” volume).
Such barrows in the low-lying fields are seen at Upton Scudamore, near Stockton and Deverill. Little doubt a curse has helped to preserve them.
