Description
The monument includes a bowl barrow and is situated within a narrow belt of
woodland bordered by the grounds of Suffolk Police HQ to the east, by a row of
houses fronting on to Deben Avenue to the west, and by a road, the A1214, to
the north. The barrow is visible as an earthen mound standing to a height of
0.8m and covering a circular area approximately 20m in diameter. In the
northern side of the mound is a curving or angled trench approximately 6m
long, probably dug during World War II and now eroded and overgrown. South of
this, near the centre of the mound, are two rectangular holes of more recent
date, the larger of which measures 4.2m east-west by 2.4m north-south and is
approximately 0.5m deep. The other, to the west of the first, measures 0.8m by
0.85m and is approximately 0.35m deep.
