Full Description
November 2016. 'Brecks from Above' and Breckland National Mapping Programme.
A possible Bronze Age round barrow, much damaged by modern tracks, may be visible as an earthwork on lidar imagery from a survey flown in 2015 (S1), and also perhaps on aerial photographs (S2)-(S3). The site forms part of a possible barrow cemetery NHER 61509. It is likely that any earthworks still survive, but their identification, both as earthworks and as being of archaeological significance, is uncertain. If the feature visible on the lidar does relate to genuine earthworks, their form is difficult to reconstruct, given the damage caused by a modern track and perhaps other activity. They possibly represent a small central mound, surrounded by an external bank, with traces of a ring ditch on its western side.
