Abstract: |
A contour survey and targeted archaeological excavation were undertaken on a small mound thought to be one of a number of mini-barrows located within the large barrow cemetery located at Salthouse Heath in Norfolk. Two opposing quadrants were excavated through the small mound. The excavated slots indicated that the mound was likely to be of natural origin and may have been caused through the accumulation of sand, trapped by the root system of a gorse bush or similar, which had since been removed. No artefacts were recovered. The work, though producing negative results, was a useful exercise which suggests that not all of the small mounds in the area of the cemetery are certain to be mini-barrows. |
