September 2005. Norfolk NMP.
A cropmark of a ring ditch, possible a Bronze Age round barrow, is visible on aerial photographs (S1). This cropmark is centred on TG 4813 1313. A single ring ditch with a slightly sub-circular plan is visible as a cropmark. It has a narrow ditch with an external diameter of 24m. It is likely that this ring ditch relates to a Bronze Age round barrow. It is an apparently isolated barrow situated on a gentle west facing slope at 14m OD.
