Full Description
Woodward marks a barrow in 1831 apparently in the grounds of Cringleford Hall - but was he being confused by the 'plague pit' bones (NHER 5008)?
See (S1).
However in (S2) the owner of the Hall says 'From what I can tell there was a tumulus which was possibly carried away to the low lands adjoining'.
Yet according to R. R. Clarke (S3) says that for a year before 1913 pottery was found in a mound in the grounds of the Hall, but never described.
E. Rose (NAU).
December 1975.
A large disused pit north of the hall. Possible low mound about 50m diameter, 0.5m high northwest of hall with trees on and cut on northwest by road, in pasture. Certainly not convinving as a barrow.
A. J. Lawson (NAU), 9 December 1975.
