Full description
November 1985. Visit.
Mound 3 to 4m high, 35m long, 28m wide. Long axis north to south. Of substantial mass, box trees on top. Certainly artificial, and distance from Buckenham Tofts Hall implies it is not a landscape feature. Barrow?
P. Wade-Martins (NAU), November 1985.
October 1988.
In middle of pasture, fenced off, bare gravelly soil. 28x35m 3 to 4m high. Circular mound spread by old ploughing? Certainly artificial, not apparently military, probably a barrow. Box trees on it over fifty years old.
J. Wymer (NAU).
