Full Description
September 2017. 'Brecks from Above' and Breckland National Mapping Programme.
A small mound or embanked enclosure, of unknown date, is visible as an earthwork on imagery from a lidar survey flown in 2015 (S1). A variety of interpretations are plausible. It could represent the remains of a Bronze Age round barrow, or could perhaps instead be an enclosure related to medieval to post-medieval warrening. Within the enclosure, or on top of the mound, traces of a rectilinear embanked feature are visible.
S. Tremlett (Norfolk Historic Environment Service), 27 September 2017.
