Full Description

Irregular but roughly circular mound at junction of a series of recent (C20) forestry rides. Possibly natural sand hillock but looks artificial. A fair scatter of Preh burnt and worked flints, in approximately equal proportions, are visible on the surfaces of the trackways in this area (S1).

January 2018. 'Brecks from Above' and Breckland National Mapping Programme.
The undated mound (perhaps a Bronze Age round barrow) described above was not seen on the consulted sources, although recent lidar imagery (S2) indicates that the ground here is uneven.
