NHER 38825 (Cropmark and Earthwork record) - Earthwork of unknown date

October 2004. Norfolk NMP.
A mound with a small depression at its apex is visible as an earthwork on aerial photographs (S1), centred at TG 2298 3735. The fact that it appears to be a fresh earthwork on aerial photographs taken in 1946 suggests that it is related to the World War Two military training area which surrounds it (NHER 38619). Given its proximity to and alignment with a Bronze Age linear barrow cemetery (NHER 38632), however, the possibility that it is a prehistoric round barrow cannot be ruled out. The fact that unlike other barrows (e.g. NHER 6740) it is not depicted as a tumulus on historic Ordnance Survey maps (S2) despite surviving as an earthwork into the 20th century suggests that the mound is most likely to be a World War Two military feature. Since 1946 it has been levelled by ploughing.

The mound is oval in plan and measures approximately 14m long and 12m wide. It is surmounted by a small circular depression or pit which measures up to 5m in diameter.
