White Hill Bell Barrow, Brandon Suffolk

This one is an absolute cracker! It was not recorded until following forestry felling operations in the 1980s. Nineteenth century maps of Brandon Park plotted a woods here named Whitehill Plantation. Study of this enormous earthwork - has identified it as a bell barrow - a rare prehistoric earthwork associated with the Bronze Age. It is a huge example of a rare prehistoric earthwork, often associated with Wessex - not identified until the end of the 20th century. This find justified further earthwork surveys by Suffolk and Norfolk Archaeology Services in Thetford Forest.
