On a subsequent visit, C. Pendleton (SAU) says he took a spade to the cross-section and suspects that the mound is natural.

July 2019. Breckland National Mapping Programme.
The possible mound described above is visible as an earthwork on imagery from a lidar survey (S2). While its interpretation as a Bronze Age round barrow cannot be ruled out entirely, its appearance on the lidar supports its interpretation as a natural feature. The earthwork is very low and poorly defined, and there are other probably natural mounds evident to its northwest. It has not been mapped.
