Monument record BOY 012 - A Bronze-Age round mound, possibly a small round barrow.

Round mound, possibly a small round barrow, attached to the bank which marks the boundary between Capel St Andrew and Boyton, on the Boyton side. Mound is approximately 10m in diameter and 1m high; it is covered with bracken which obscures the shape of the mound, there are also some tree stumps. The mound is crowned by a limestone boundary post. On the S (Boyton) face are the letters 'AH', on the N (Capel St Andrew) face are the letters `B.T.'- `AH' possibly stands for Lord Archibald Hamilton (later 9th Duke of Hamilton), a landowner in the area circa 1771-1786. There is a slight depression on the S side which may indicate a surrounding ditch. The mound lies only a short distance to the N of a round barrow (BOY 008). The mound is marked on the OS 1:10560 map (Provisional Edition), whilst the 1:25000 map (Provisional Edition) shows three other boundary stones on that stretch of the parish boundary, but not, apparently on mounds (S1)(S2).
Scheduled 26 January 1993, location amended to TM 3524 4697. Details in (S3).
Account book of the Boyton Trust records that in 1766 nine stones were put down on the heath as boundaries between the lands of the Duchess of Hamilton and those of the Trust. The stones are marked on an estate map of 1782 (S4). N.B. The letters AH should face N and BT should face S - has the stone been re-erected the wrong way round?

The mound described above is visible on aerial photographs (S5)- (S7), and survives as an earthwork on Lidar imagery (S8). Its location differs slightly from the former monument polygon and scheduled area, perhaps since it has been mapped from the more accurate Lidar imagery.
