Full Description
July 2018. 'Brecks from Above' and Breckland National Mapping Programme.
A possible mound, perhaps a Bronze Age round barrow, is visible as an earthwork on imagery from a 2015 lidar survey (S1). It could be part of what appears to be a large, dispersed, Bronze Age round barrow cemetery (NHER 62464). Like other nearby mounds (NHER 62473 and NHER 62474), however, it lies in an area of what appears on the lidar to be very uneven, ‘lumpy’ ground, and it is possible that the mound is instead of natural, perhaps periglacial, origin.
