Full Description

March 2018. 'Brecks from Above' and Breckland National Mapping Programme.
The slight earthworks and cropmarks of a possible former Bronze Age round barrow may be visible on aerial photographs (S1-S2). The site is visible as a faint mound on (S1) and subsequently as a parched circular feature with possible traces of a ditch (S2). Recent lidar imagery (S3) suggests that it no longer survives as a discernible earthwork. This possible barrow may have formed part of a cluster of up to seven barrows forming a barrow cemetery overlooking the Little Ouse River and a minor tributary (BNH 120).
S. Horlock (Norfolk Historic Environment Service), 10th March 2018.
