Full Description
February 1988. East of Willow Farm, on south of public footpath.
Mound, about 1-1.5m high, under pasture. Occupying all of field, irregular shape with old gullies cut into side, resembling a stranded starfish.
Reported by friend of [1] who stated that in 1939 it was to be excavated due to a belief that it was a burial mound, but war intervened. From position on edge of marshes and similarity to mounds at Halvergate Marshes, probable that this is a saltern mound.
