Monument record STN 178 - Possible mound, perhaps a Bronze Age round barrow
Please read our guidance about the use of Suffolk Historic Environment Record data.
Summary
A possible mound, perhaps the remains of a Bronze Age round barrow, is visible as an earthwork on imagery from a lidar survey flown in 2015. The earthwork is very low, however, and lies in an area of ‘hummocky’ ground. It could instead be of natural origin.

A possible mound, perhaps the remains of a Bronze Age round barrow, is visible as an earthwork on imagery from a lidar survey flown in 2015 (S1). Several other barrows or possible barrows have been recorded in the vicinity. The earthwork is very low, however, and lies in an area of ‘hummocky’ ground. It could instead be of natural origin.
