Description
The monument includes a bowl barrow within Seven Hills barrow cemetery,
situated c.100m west of the most densely clustered group in the cemetery, in a
narrow belt of woodland bounded by the A1156, to the north, and the Ipswich-
Felixstowe railway line to the south. The barrow, which is conspicuous from
the minor road crossing the wood immediately to the west, is visible as an
earthen mound standing to a height of 1.4m and covering a circular area c.24m
in diameter. The mound is encircled by a ditch, from which earth was dug and
used during construction of the barrow. This has become completely infilled,
but survives as a buried feature, estimated to be 3m in width.
