Full Description
May 2020. Breckland National Mapping Programme.
A probable Bronze Age round barrow is visible as an earthwork on visualised lidar data (S1). It lies 400m to the north of a very extensive, dispersed group of barrows and possible cemeteries (NHER 61484), while a less dense spread of probable barrows is evident on former Cranwich Heath to the north (NHER 63617 and NHER 63618 for example). It is also one of a number of barrows evident in the vicinity of the Fossditch, a probable Anglo-Saxon boundary (NHER 1089), which lies 50m to its east. As the barrow is clearly visible on the lidar data, which came from a relatively recent (2015) survey, it is probable that the earthworks still survive.
