Full Description
September 2006. Norfolk NMP.
A possible double ring ditch is visible as a faint cropmark on an aerial photograph (S1), centred at TG 4213 1678. Numerous ring ditches are visible in this part of Flegg, many of which are likely to represent the remains of Bronze Age round barrows. A probable cemetery, NHER 44950, lies 400m to the south. A similar interpretation is plausible for the site described here. The cropmark, however, which is only visible on a single aerial photograph, is so faint that its archaeological origin must be regarded as dubious.
The ring ditch is only partially visible but appears to be oval in plan and measures 41.5m long by 38.5m wide. The southeastern part of what may have been an inner ring ditch is also visible, placed off-centre to the outer ditch circuit.
S. Tremlett (NMP), 28 September 2006.
