Full Description
On former heath, now Forestry Commission plantation.
Small feature cut by track on southeast, resembles a ploughed barrow.
Information from letter from Head Forester, Wensum.
E. Rose (NAU), 8 November 1982.
November 2009. Norfolk NMP.
A large irregular mound is visible as an earthwork on aerial photographs (S1)-(S2), centred on TG 1875 1813, within the Horsford dispersed barrow cemetery (NHER 52449). The feature measures 66m by 57m.
It was incorrectly located from the photograph (S2), and previously recorded under the number NHER 18491. The feature is actually cut by a track to the southwest (see above).
This feature has been examined on aerial photographs and considered to be a natural topographic feature, possibly augmented by human activity, and it was not possible to confirm that it represents a Bronze Age barrow, despite its location within the Horsford dispersed barrow cemetery (NHER 52449), and it has therefore not been mapped.
E. Bales (NMP), November 2009.
