Summary

The earthworks of a large probable natural mound are visible on visualised lidar data. As the lidar survey was flown relatively recently (2017) it is likely that the mound still survives. The site has been previously suggested to have related to a Bronze Age round barrow.

March 2024. Wendling Beck and Fransham Aerial Investigation and Mapping (AIM) Project.
The above possible Bronze Age round barrow (see above) was not seen on the sources consulted as part of this project. The earthworks of a large natural mound or hill are visible on the visualised lidar data (S2) at this location. As the lidar survey was flown relatively recently (2017) it is likely that the mound or hill still survives. It is likely that the field boundary on the Great Dunham Tithe Map (S1) respects this natural feature. The monument polygon has been updated to the extent of the feature as seen on the visualised lidar data (S2).
