Full Description
2016: Possible Undated Mound. The area around the mound undulates considerable and it could also be spoil heaps or natural feature (S1).
October 2017. 'Brecks from Above' and Breckland National Mapping Programme.
The possible mound of unknown date described above is visible as an earthwork on imagery from a recent lidar survey (S2). As it appears on the lidar, it is not convincing as an archaeological feature, and as suggested above it may be spoil – although there is no clear evidence of quarrying - or of natural origin. It has not been mapped by the project.
S. Tremlett (Norfolk Historic Environment Service), 11th October 2017.
