Scheduled Ancient Monument: BOWL BARROW 580M NORTH EAST OF THE LODGE, BRANDON (21436)

The monument includes a bowl barrow which is located on a slight east-west ridge on the south side of the valley of the Little Ouse River in the Breckland region. The barrow is visible as an earthen mound encircled by a ditch and a low bank and has an overall diameter of c.33m. The mound stands to a height of c.1.6m and covers a circular area c.21m in diameter. The surrounding ditch, from which earth was quarried during the construction of the barrow, has become largely infilled but survives as a buried feature and can be traced around the eastern and northern side as a slight hollow c.3m wide and up to c.0.25m deep in the ground surface. The external bank, measuring up to 3m in width at the base and c.0.25m in height, is visible around most of the circumference. A depression c.3.5m wide and c.9m in length in the surface of the mound, extending from the south eastern edge towards the centre, probably marks the site of an antiquarian investigation
