Round barrow in Norfolk

Bell Hill is a few hundred yards away from Mill Hill in Belton. It is situated at the top of the forest road that leaves the A143 Yarmouth-Beccles road at the side of the Decoy pub. If you park and walk into the tree plantation through the fire gate and keep walking in the same general direction of the road it soon becomes visible through the trees.

Its extremely overgrown and deep in bracken but nonetheless recognisably barrow-like. Not a great site but one worth recording as one of the very few remaining in this part of east Anglia. The site is actually marked as a battery and its easy to see how its position high over the waveney might have led to later use as a gun placement
