Description
The monument includes a bowl barrow within Levington Heath barrow cemetery,
situated on level ground 140m south east of the parish boundary between
Levington and Bucklesham, which lies to the north. The barrow is visible as
a low earthen mound and marked also by a sandy patch in the ploughsoil. In
1959, when already under cultivation, the mound was recorded as measuring
approximately 1.2m in height and 27m in diameter. Since then it has been
reduced by ploughing and now stands to a height of approximately 0.4m and
covers a circular area approximately 24m in diameter.
