NHER 62483 (Cropmark and Earthwork record) - Possible mound of unknown, possibly modern date

January 2019. 'Brecks from Above' and Breckland National Mapping Programme.
A possible mound of unknown but perhaps late post-medieval or modern date is visible as an earthwork on imagery from a lidar survey flown in 2015 (S1). The mound is sub-circular and has an internal depression. It could represent the remains of a damaged Bronze Age round barrow. It corresponds, however, with the location of a circular clearing at the crossroads of two forest rides, visible on aerial photographs from 1946 (S2, for example). It could somehow relate to this clearing; it perhaps surrounded or underlay a tree ring, for example. Equally, it could relate to Second World War (or earlier) military activity evident in the area; a trench identified immediately to its east (NHER 62484) is likely to have had a military origin. As the lidar survey was flown relatively recently, it is probable that the earthwork still survives.
