Full Description
March 2004. Noted during forestry operations.
Probable barrow, around 20m across and 1m high. Nearby to the north, an old bank.

The probable Bronze Age round barrow described above is visible on lidar imagery (S1) [1]. A circular mound is visible at the location described, albeit not particularly clearly, with an earthwork bank (which corresponds to a boundary on historic Ordnance Survey maps such as (S2)) to the north (the latter has not been mapped). It is one of four probable and possible round barrows recorded in this area, which together perhaps formed a dispersed barrow cemetery (recorded as NHER 61509).
S. Tremlett (Norfolk Historic Environment Service), 28 November 2016.
