NHER 52401 (Cropmark and Earthwork record) - Earthworks of possible Neolithic long barrow

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

An elongated oval mound or barrow is visible as a possible earthwork on aerial photographs through the trees of a young plantation. It is really only visible as a patch of different vegetation, and by no means secure, but has been mapped due to its potential significance. This feature is considerably larger, and is located approximately 50m to the south-west of the long barrow recorded as NHER 7763, and has therefore been recorded separately, but it is possible that these two records in fact relate to the same earthwork.

Full Description

November 2009. Norfolk NMP.
An elongated oval mound or barrow is visible as a possible earthwork on aerial photographs (S1)-(S2) through the trees of a young plantation, centred on TG 1533 1757. It is really only visible as a patch of different vegetation, and by no means secure, but has been mapped due to its potential significance.
The barrow measures approximately 30m east to west, and 14m in diameter, and is considerably larger, as well as being located approximately 50m to the south-west of, the long barrow recorded as NHER 7763, and has therefore been recorded separately, but it is possible that these two records in fact relate to the same earthwork.
E. Bales (NMP), November 2009.
