Full Description
April 2019. Breckland National Mapping Programme.
An undated earthwork mound is visible on visualised lidar data (S1). It is possible the mound may relate to a Bronze Age barrow which has been suggested from historic maps to the north (NHER 15523). Together with two additional mounds to its northeast (NHER 63626 and 63627), it may form part of a small linear barrow cemetery (NHER 63628). Alternatively, it is also possible the mound may be a former spoil heap associated with a possible extraction pit in close proximity (located at TL 7676 9306) or a natural feature. If the mound does relate to a possible spoil heap it is most likely to be post medieval in date and is similar to a further possible mound to the northwest (NHER 63326).
