Full Description
October 2004. Norfolk NMP.
Cropmarks of a ring ditch, of probable Bronze Age date, are visible on aerial photographs (S1). The ring ditch is centred on TG 32503125. It has an external diameter of 38m and an average ditch width of between 2.5m to 3.0m which broadens to 6m on the southeast side. Centrally within the ring ditch is an elongated pit measuring 20m by up to 6m wide. It is possible that this ring ditch relates to a Bronze Age round barrow. However the central pit is too large to represent an individual grave. Bronze Age pottery and a sword fragment have been found in this field (NHER 7018).
