Full Description
December 2004. Norfolk NMP.
A possible ring ditch is visible as a cropmark on aerial photographs (S1), centred at TG 2645 3633. Although the interpretation of the cropmark is open to question, if it is a ring ditch, like similar features in the surrounding area, it is most probably the remains of a Bronze Age round barrow. At the same time, the fact that it is visible on aerial photographs from only one year (i.e. 1946) means that the possibility that it is a product of modern agricultural activity cannot be ruled out.
The postulated ring ditch is only partially visible, its south side being masked. It appears to be fairly circular in plan and measures approximately 17m in diameter. A possible internal pit could mark the position of a grave or burial pit.
