The cropmarks of a ring ditch, probably the remains of a Bronze Age barrow, are visible on aerial photographs bisected by the Norfolk and Suffolk county border to the south of Hopton Manor (S1). The ring ditch is centred on TM 5211 9959. This possible round barrow is located within a barrow cemetery, see NHER 43527 for details.
The ring ditch is slightly sub-circular and measures 28.5m by 26m. The ditch is up to 2m wide.
