Description
The monument includes a bowl barrow within Levington Heath barrow cemetery,
situated on level ground 150m north west of the junction between the parish
boundaries of Levington, to the west, Bucklesham to the north and east, and
Stratton Hall to the south. The barrow is visible as an earthen mound,
standing to a height of 2.5m and covering a circular area approximately 28m
in diameter. The mound is encircled by a ditch, from which earth was dug
during construction of the barrow. The ditch has become completely infilled,
but survives as a buried feature approximately 3m wide. A hollow approximately
9m wide in the mound surface, extending from the southern edge into the
centre, marks the site of an old exploration, thought to date from 1925.
