Full Description
June 2004, Norfolk NMP.
A nucleated Bronze Age round barrow cemetery is visible as cropmarks on aerial photographs (S1), centred at TG 2169 3622. In comprises a large double ring ditch or double ditched enclosure (NHER 36478) surrounded by three smaller ring ditches (NHER 36477, 36479 and 38500). The relative size and positioning of the four elements implies that the larger ring ditch is older and probably of Neolithic or early Bronze Age date and that it was subsequently surrounded by the smaller ring ditches.
On the basis of the visible cropmarks the cemetery is roughly triangular in plan and encompasses an area of approximately 1.78ha. It measures up to 175m north-to-south and 150m east-to-west.
