NHER 61986 (Cropmark and Earthwork record) - Bronze Age round barrow cemetery

The Norfolk Heritage Explorer is a filtered version of the Norfolk HER intended for casual research. Please contact us to consult the full record.

Summary

A cluster of mounds in this area have been identified on 0.5m DTM lidar data (NHER 61982, NHER 61983, NHER 61984, NHER 61985, NHER 62025) and also on the ground (NHER 29253, NHER 33412). These have all been interpreted as round barrows and indicate the presence of a barrow cemetery. It must be noted that one of these barrows (NHER 61985) has been suggested as being a Neolithic oval barrow in origin. This cluster of barrows is itself located in close proximity to numerous other barrows, forming a dispersed cemetery landscape group (NHER 61484) in this area.
