Full Description

Mound adjacent to grotto in Sotterley Park. Possibly a landscape feature erected when the Hall (SOT 004) was built circa 1744 (S1). Referred to by D E Davy in his 'Journal of Suffolk Excursions 1823 - 1840' (manuscript belonging to J Blatchly, Ipswich School) as 'a lump with trees on top in the Hall park - a tumulus ?' (R1). For other mounds in Sotterley Park, see SOT 006 & 007.
A building is shown by Hodskinson at this location in 1783 (S2).
