Description
The monument includes a bowl barrow within Seven Hills barrow cemetery, and is
situated to the rear of a cottage garden, at the south-western end of
Bucklesham Wood. The barrow is visible as an irregular earthen mound, standing
to a height of 2m, and covering an area measuring c.20m north-east to southwest
by 16m south-east to north-west. The original diameter of the mound was
between 20m and 25m, but this was reduced early in the 20th century, when part
of the north-western side of the barrow was levelled and the centre was
hollowed out from the south-western side. The ground within this hollow, which
was formerly roofed as a shed, is now open and grassed and is included in the
scheduling, as is the ground formerly covered by the north-western edge of the
mound. A shed standing partly on the latter area is excluded from the
scheduling, although the ground beneath this feature is included.
