Full Description
Pensthorpe Bronze Age barrow group.
Located to north and south of A1067 Norwich to Fakenham Road.
It includes:
Eight barrows that survived as low mounds in 1976, but that are probably now only visible on aerial photographs, having been ploughed flat. See NHER 1050, 5781, 5784 and 5785.
Two further barrows that were recorded in the mid 20th century but that are now only visible on aerial photographs, also having been flattened. See NHER 2172 and 5786.
Two ring ditches that are only recorded from cropmarks on aerial photographs and that could be the remains of barrows (one of those recorded as NHER 5784 and NHER 5783).
A low mound that may be a barrow (NHER 7153), although it could be a natural feature.
A possible prehistoric trackway (NHER 32232) passes through the centre of the barrow group.
