Interpretation.
This ring ditch is probably another of the 'barrows on Morton Common' (see NHER 7728).

The cropmarks of a ring ditch, probably the remains of a Bronze Age round barrow, are visible on aerial photographs to the northeast of Morton village (S1-S2). The ring ditch is centred on TG 1229 1731 and is 11m in diameter.

This ring ditch may have formed part of a Bronze Age barrow cemetery located along the valley floor (NHER 50649). The presence of a barrow cemetery in this general area was noted in the 1830s (see NHER 7728) and it is likely that some components of this group (NHER 50649), along with NHER 50646 to the north and NHER 45361 to the southwest, correspond with the earthworks recorded in the 1830s. The site is located on the river valley floor, between the 10-15m contours. The present course of the River Wensum runs to its immediate northeast.
