Scheduled Ancient Monument: BOWL BARROW ON WALDRINGFIELD HEATH, 150M SOUTH OF HEATH FARM (21262)

The monument includes a bowl barrow, situated on former heathland, 1800m west of the Deben estuary. The barrow is visible as a low mound, marked also by a light coloured, sandy patch in the ploughsoil, and the mound is encircled by a buried ditch. The mound was originally approximately 14m in diameter, but has been spread by ploughing to a diameter of approximately 25m and reduced to a height of approximately 0.25m. The surrounding ditch, from which earth was dug and used during construction of the barrow, has become filled in, but evidence that it exists as a buried feature beneath the ploughsoil has been recorded by means of aerial photography.
