Summary

The soilmarks of two possible Bronze Age round barrows may be visible on aerial photographs. It is hard to attribute the soilmarks an archaeological origin with complete confidence due to the presence of the surrounding patterned ground marks, but it seems likely given the appearance of the marks and the presence of multiple nearby barrows such as NHER 61515.

February 2017. 'Brecks from Above' and Breckland National Mapping Programme.
The soilmarks of two possible Bronze Age round barrows may be visible on aerial photographs (S2-S3). As stated in 1983 (see above), it is hard to attribute the soilmarks an archaeological origin with complete confidence due to the presence of the surrounding patterned ground marks, although it seems fairly likely given the appearance of the marks and the presence of multiple nearby barrows , for example NHER 61515.
