NHER 61506 (Cropmark and Earthwork) - Probable Bronze Age round barrow

November 2016. 'Brecks from Above' and Breckland National Mapping Programme.
A probable Bronze Age round barrow has been identified as an earthwork on the ground and is visible on lidar imagery from a survey flown in 2015 (S1). It is very likely that the earthwork still survives. It forms part of a probable small barrow cemetery (NHER 61502). Like most of the other barrows in the cemetery, the mound was first recorded and surveyed in 1973; see NHER 5649 (context 5, although there is some discrepancy in the grid references) and Historic England Archive record TL 88 NW 14 (S2). The feature is only just visible on the lidar, and therefore its mapping is approximate, but it broadly corresponds with the mound depicted on modern Ordnance Survey maps. Its morphology, topographical location and archaeological context make its interpretation as a round barrow highly likely.
This barrow was previously recorded as part of NHER 5649.
