Abstract:		 The results of archaeological monitoring during the removal of bracken litter from the mound, ditches and banks of Weasenham Great Barrow. The Great Barrow is a Scheduled Monument (NF 164B) and one of a number of barrows that form part of a late Neolithic or Bronze Age barrow cemetery. The Great Barrow is one of the largest and most impressive extant burial mounds in Norfolk, comprising of a bell barrow form with a large mound c. 30m in diameter and c. 2m in height, surrounded by two ditches and an external bank. An assemblage of worked flints was collected from the surface of the monument following clearance of bracken litter. The flint is of poor quality with a small number of recognisable tool types present in the form of notched pieces and a heavy edged scraper. Overall the flint industry represented here appears to be consistent with a Late Bronze Age period of activity at the Barrow site. A single fragmentary piece of prehistoric pottery was collected from the central mound which may be from a small Bronze Age to Early Iron Age vessel. The morphology of the central mound and its surrounding banks and ditches was much clearer and well defined following removal of the bracken litter. This allowed an opportunity to conduct a rudimentary earthwork survey to augment existing records of the monument. Several depressions and a possible spoil mound were noted which may indicate some form of antiquarian activity to investigate the mound or more recent but concerted 'robbing' intrusions.
