Full Description
December 2018. 'Brecks from Above' and Breckland National Mapping Programme.
A possible mound, perhaps a Bronze Age round barrow, is visible as a low earthwork on imagery from a lidar survey flown in 2015 (S1). It lies approximately 900m southeast of a more extensive group of mounds (NHER 62464), which may represent a large round barrow cemetery. As the lidar survey was flown relatively recently, it is likely that the earthwork still survives. Its rather oval shape in plan may be a consequence the mound material having been spread by later activity.
