Monument record FXL 054 - Modern gunpost cutting into the reamins of a Bronze Age round barrow

A possible Light Anti-aircraft Artillery emplacement, or gun post, is visible on aerial photographs, cut into an earthwork mound, possibly the remains of a Bronze Age Round Barrow on Brightwell Heath, Foxhall parish, centred on circa TM236442. The military feature appears to consist of a central hollow or pit surrounded by earthwork, possibly with an entrance to the south. The mound into which it is cut is circa 15 metres in diameter. The gun post was probably located to provide Martlesham Heath airbase protection against enemy aircraft. Similar features can be seen to the north and east (see ????). (S1, S2)
