Scheduled Ancient Monument: BOWL BARROW IN HOBBIN'S BELT, 850M SOUTH-EAST OF WHITE HOUSE FARM: PART OF SEVEN HILLS BARROW CEMETERY (21285)

The monument includes a bowl barrow within Seven Hills barrow cemetery, located beside the Ipswich-Felixstowe railway, in a narrow belt of woodland bounded by the A1156, to the north, and the railway line to the south. The barrow is visible as an irregular earthen mound, cut by the foundations of a signal box, now completely demolished and removed, and by military trenches dug during World War II. The original dimensions of the mound are not recorded but, in their present condition, the earthworks stand to a height of c.1.8m and cover an area measuring c.27m north-west to south-east and 16m north-east to south-west. The highest part of the mound has been augmented by upcast from a large trench, 4m wide, which runs north-east to south-west through it, and the much lower area on the south-eastern side of the monument is cut by a rectilinear complex of trenches, all c.1m wide. The remains of the original barrow mound will be preserved beneath the spoil from these later features.
