December 2004. Norfolk NMP.
The possible barrow that had been previously identified on aerial photographs was not mapped during the NMP. Although a feature having the appearance of a ploughed out barrow with an outer ditch was visible in later June 1946 (S1), it did not look particularly convincing on other available aerial photographs. It also had the appearance of glacial mound, when compared with similar features in the surrounding areas earlier in June 1946 (S2). The topographic setting of the site is also not what one would normally expect for a Bronze Age barrow.
