Monument record STN 082 - Possible mound, perhaps a Bronze Age round barrow, Compartment 4070, Santon Downham
Please read our guidance about the use of Suffolk Historic Environment Record data.
Summary
A small, low mound, possibly the remnants of a Bronze Age round barrow, was identified as an earthwork during a rapid earthwork identification survey undertaken in 2001. A subsequent site visit in 2013 failed to identify the feature, and it was also not identifiable on aerial photographs or on imagery from a 2015 lidar survey. The mound may have been levelled.
