I went to the heath about a year ago after reading about it here and I hope that I would have distinguished the barrows were there not signs on them. The longbarrow specifically would be impressive given a little care but the heath itself is a fine ancient place and as a once-local I am just glad that there is just something here.

To make life easier, the Ditchingham barrows are now marked as tumuli at TM344912 on OS Outdoor Leasure Map 40 (The Broads).

(You can read some fieldnotes by Rob Gillespie for this site under the general 'Eastern England' heading).

The barrow is 35m long and 2m high. Next to it is a horseshoe shaped enclosure, the terminals are 140m apart - the bank and outer ditch are visible near Ditchingham village hall and beside Green Lane.

More than 22,000 flint tools were found during the excavation of the settlement!
