Dear Tom Useful hint for all ....  type the following into google define: tump and the magic answer comes up...  "A small rounded hill or mound; a tumulus." In size ??  well I aways refer to the remains of the Welsh 11th century mottes around Ceredigion as "tumps" ....  that sort of size if you have ever seen such things.
