Full Description
October 2006. Norfolk NMP
A cropmark of a rectangular enclosure, possibly a Neolithic mortuary enclosure, is visible on aerial photographs (S1). This cropmark is centred on TG 3068 1008. The enclosure has a rectangular plan with rounded corners. It is defined by a narrow ditch and does not appear to have a visible entrance. The external dimensions of this enclosure are 37m by 12m and it lies on an east-northeast to west-southwest alignment. It overlaps cropmarks of an undated linear ditch and possible enclosure (NHER 45128). The date and function of this rectangular enclosure is uncertain. It does have some similarity to smaller Neolithic mortuary enclosures and could belong to this class of monument.
