Full Description
February 1998. Walkover Survey.
Rapid Earthwork Identification Survey (Compartment 1011).
Mound 35m diameter, 1m high, roughly circular, area to north-west lower than surrounding land. Round barrow?
See report (S1) for further details.

The earthwork mound described above, which has been interpreted as a possible Bronze Age round barrow, was not identified on the consulted sources. On visualised lidar data (S2), the ground surface can be seen to be uneven and 'lumpy', but no distinct mound was evident, and a geomorphological origin for the unevenness seems probable.
S. Tremlett (Norfolk Historic Environment Service), 24th January 2020.
