Monument record TUN 038 - Possible small circular mound of unknown date and significance
Please read our guidance about the use of Suffolk Historic Environment Record data.
Summary
The possible earthworks of a small circular mound may be visible on the Lidar 2m DTM imagery. The mound, approximately 12.5m across, may be surrounded by an outer ditch. It is possible that this mound represents a Bronze Age round barrow preserved within the plantation, however it must be noted that no corresponding mound was identified on aerial photograph taken in 1945 where the area is extremely immature woodland plantation.
