Full Description
April 2017. 'Brecks from Above' and Breckland National Mapping Programme.
A possible mound is visible as an earthwork on imagery from a recent lidar survey (S1). The mound, which is rather oval in plan, could be the remains of a Bronze Age round barrow, or even those of a Neolithic oval barrow. The archaeological origin of the feature is uncertain however – it could in part be of natural origin, or a modern feature in part created by vehicle tracks. Equally, alternative archaeological interpretations of the feature are also possible. It appears to both be slighted and respected by different elements of the complex area of boundary banks and trackways recorded as NHER 61537.
