Full Description
December 2009. Norfolk NMP.
The soilmarks and slight earthworks of a Bronze Age round barrow are visible on aerial photographs on a slight promontory of higher land in Howe (S1-S2). The site is centred on TG 2774 0051. The monument forms part of a linear Bronze Age barrow cemetery (NHER 52421), see this record for a wider discussion of the group.
The remains of the barrow are indicated by a light-coloured circular soilmark, 17m in diameter (S1-S2). The slight traces of a surviving earthwork may also be detectable. Other smaller, but broadly circular light-coloured soilmarks and cropmarks are visible within this field (S1-S3), but were not mapped as additional barrows and were interpreted as relating to underlying geological patterning.
S. Horlock (NMP), 29 December 2009.
