Full Description
February 1998. Walkover Survey.
Rapid Earthwork Identification Survey (Compartment 1088).
Circular mound, 15m diameter, 0.5m high. Probable round barrow.
See report (S1) for further details.
E. Rose (NAU), 3 June 1998. Amended by P. Watkins (HES), 19 August 2015.
September 2016. 'Brecks from Above' and Breckland National Mapping Programme.
No convincing sign of this mound could be detected at this location on the 0.5m resolution Lidar data (S2). Other mounds were identified to the west and southwest of this location, for example see NHER 61485-61487. Due to potential problems of location with the forest, it is feasible that one of these newly identified mounds are in fact the same monument. However further inspection on the ground would be required to investigate this.
This monument is located in close proximity to numerous other barrows, forming a dispersed cemetery group (NHER 61484) in this area.
S. Horlock (Norfolk Historic Environment Service), 21st September 2016.
