Author(s): Megan Clements, Neil Linford, Paul Linford, Andy Payne, Nathalie Barrett
An earth resistance (0.54ha) survey, four Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) and three Electrical Resistance Tomography (ERT) profiles were conducted over the monument known as White Hill in the Thetford Forest, Brandon, Suffolk, following a request from the Historic England East of England Regional Team. The surveys aimed to enhance the understanding of the monument, enabling it to be better placed in its historical landscape context and to contribute to the development of management solutions for its preservation. The geophysical results suggest the underlying monument at White Hill has a more diamond-like form, and a clear distinction between the mound, berm and the surrounding ditch can be seen on the north-eastern side of the monument[LN1] . Other anomalies of possible archaeological or natural origin have also been identified.
