Full Description
December 2004. Norfolk NMP.
A cropmark of a ring ditch, probably a Bronze Age round barrow, is visible on aerial photographs (S1). This cropmark is located at TG 3422 3292. The ring ditch is circular in plan and has an external diameter of 37m. The ditch is less than 1m wide resulting in an internal diameter of 35.5m. A linear ditch cropmark immediately to the southwest of the ring ditch, may be a later boundary that respects the position of the barrow (NHER 39164). The ring ditch is located on a small knoll of higher ground, at 15m OD, on a gentle east facing slope overlooking a valley.
