Full Description
October 2005. Norfolk NMP.
A cropmark of a ring ditch, probably a Bronze Age round barrow, is visible on aerial photographs (S1). This cropmark is located TG 4933 1300. The ring ditch is sub-circular to sub-oval in plan with a narrow ditch and a maximum external diameter of 15m. A 4m wide gap in the ditch is present on its northeast side. It is likely that this ring ditch is of Bronze Age date and that it relates to a round barrow. It is located on a south facing slope at approximately 14m OD. A second ring ditch is located 130m to the southwest (NHER 17592). It is possible that both of these ring ditches are outliers from a barrow cemetery located 450m to the east (NHER 8645).
