Round Barrow(s) in Suffolk
Details from Historic England entry:
'The monument includes a small bowl barrow and a section of an adjacent boundary bank. The barrow is visible as a sub-circular, earthen mound which is encircled by a ditch. The mound stands to a height of 1m and covers an area measuring 11m east-west by 8m north-south. The surrounding ditch, from which earth was dug and used during construction of the barrow, has become almost completely filled, but is marked by a slight hollow in the ground surface to the south of the mound. On the north side of the mound, and distinct from it, is a bank c 1.3m high and 5m wide which marks the boundary between the parishes of Boyton to the south and Capel St Andrew to the north. The construction of this bank subsequent to the barrow accounts for the truncated appearance of the mound on the north side. On the mound is set a limestone boundary marker dated to the late 18th century and inscribed with the letters A H on the south face and B.T(?) on the north face. A H may signify Lord Archibald Hamilton who was a landowner in the area between about 1771-1786. Prehistoric bowl barrows were sometimes re-used as boundary markers in medieval times, and the relationship between the boundary bank and this barrow is of particular interest.'
