Deadman's Grave, Icklingham is a 127.3-hectare (315-acre) biological Site of Special Scientific Interest north-east of Icklingham in Suffolk.[1][2] It is a Nature Conservation Review site, Grade I,[3] and part of Breckland Special Area of Conservation[4][5] and Breckland Special Protection Area under the European Union Directive on the Conservation of Wild Birds.[6][7]
According to Natural England, this site "is largely covered by short, sheep-grazed, species-rich calcareous grassland of the very highest value." It has four nationally rare plants, Spanish catchfly, Boehmer's cat's-tail, Breckland Wild Thyme and spring speedwell. Nationally rare stone curlews breed there.[8]
A track called Seven Tree Road runs through the site.[2]
