Full Description
January 2015. Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Beauty National Mapping Programme.
The site of a possible large circular earthwork mound is visible on the 2m LIDAR DTM (S1) within the wooded area of Scottshall Coverts. The site is centred on TM 4656 6771. This feature is obscured on the conventional aerial photographs. Whilst it is feasible that this mound, potentially 35m across, relates to a Bronze Age round barrow preserved within the wooded area, further investigation on the ground is required to ascertain its date and archaeological significance, as it is entirely possible that it relates to a natural feature and/or a mound of material.
