Full Description
December 2018. 'Brecks from Above' and Breckland National Mapping Programme.
A roughly circular or oval area of different coloured vegetation is visible on aerial photographs on the edge of a forestry plantation (S1). It could mark the site of a levelled mound, perhaps the site of a Bronze Age round barrow. It lies approximately 750m to the southeast of a larger group of possible barrows, perhaps representing a large round barrow cemetery (NHER 62464). The extent of the vegetation mark and its archaeological significance, however, is uncertain.
