NHER 44835 (Cropmark and Earthwork record) - Cropmarks of two possible Bronze Age ring ditches

July 2006. Norfolk NMP
Faint cropmarks of possible two ring ditches, probably Bronze Age round barrows, are visible on aerial photographs (S1-S3). These cropmarks are centred on TM 3456 9317. The largest of the two ring ditches is located at TM 3458 9317. It has a sub-circular plan with a narrow ditch and an external diameter of 21m. The second ring ditch is located 30m to the west at TM 3455 9318. It also has a sub-circular plan with a narrow ditch and an external diameter of 14m. A gap is present in the eastern side of the ditch. The ditch widens on the south side of the opening, making it likely that this is a deliberate entrance. It is probable that both of these ring ditches are of Bronze Age date and that they relate to round barrows. They are located on a south facing slope at approximately 21m OD and form part of a large barrow cemetery (NHER 44844).
