Description

The monument includes a bowl barrow within Seven Hills barrow cemetery, situated c.100m west of the most densely clustered group in the cemetery, in a narrow belt of woodland bounded by the A1156, to the north, and the Ipswich- Felixstowe railway line to the south. The barrow, which is conspicuous from the minor road crossing the wood immediately to the west, is visible as an earthen mound standing to a height of 1.4m and covering a circular area c.24m in diameter. The mound is encircled by a ditch, from which earth was dug and used during construction of the barrow. This has become completely infilled, but survives as a buried feature, estimated to be 3m in width.
