Full Description
February 2017. 'Brecks from Above' and Breckland National Mapping Programme.
The earthworks of a possible mound of uncertain date and archaeological origin may be visible on the 0.5m resolution Lidar data (S1). The sub-circular shape and size of the ephemeral mound (19.5m across) is broadly consistent with other possible barrow mounds recorded in the area, however this mound appears to be located within a sunken and/or quarried area. Its proximity to numerous other barrows, for example the cemetery NHER 62020, and a dispersed cemetery landscape group (NHER 61484) in this area, must be noted.
S. Horlock (Norfolk Historic Environment Service), 24 February 2017.
