Description
The monument includes a bowl barrow within Levington Heath barrow cemetery,
situated on level ground 70m south of the parish boundary between Levington
and Bucklesham, which lies to the north. The barrow was visible as an earthen
mound which was recorded in 1959, when already under cultivation, as standing
to a height of 0.6m and covering a circular area 22m in diameter. Since then
it has been reduced by ploughing, but the area is clearly defined and marked
by a circular,light coloured, sandy patch measuring approximately 16m in
diameter in the ploughsoil.
