NHER 38659 (Cropmark and Earthwork record) - Cropmark of ring ditch

June 2004, Norfolk NMP.
A possible ring ditch is visible as a cropmark on an aerial photograph (S1), centred at TG 2125 3720. Its morphology and its proximity to other prehistoric ceremonial and funerary sites suggest that it represents the remains of a Bronze Age round barrow. Subsequently, this appears to have been incorporated into an Iron Age to Romano-British field system (NHER 38571), an element of which crosses the north side of the ring ditch. In the absence of corroborative evidence, however, it remains possible that the cropmark is a product of geology or agricultural activity rather than the presence of an archaeological feature.

The ring ditch is slightly sub-circular in plan and measures approximately 13.5m in diameter. An apparent entrance on its east side may be genuine or may be the result of the cropmark being masked. A possible internal pit, perhaps a grave, is located off-centre within the ring ditch.
