The National Trust, who now look after the site as part of Sheringham Park, think a previous landowner may have planted a decorative scheme of Holm oak around the mound.
The oval barrow earthwork has a height of 1.5m and measures c.32m along an ENE-WSW axis by c.23m NNW-SSE. The bowl barrow stands on this mound near its eastern end, and is defined by a distinct break in the profile of the earthwork. The later barrow covers a circular area c.14m in diameter and is c.1m high, giving the earthwork an overall maximum height of c.2m. Surrounding the oval mound, at a distance of up to 2m are two ditches. Situated 500m WSW of Wood Farm
Oxford Archaeology have made a 3D scan of the barrows. View the model at Sketchfab .
