Full Description
October 2006. Norfolk NMP.
The cropmarks of a pair of possible ring ditches of unknown date are visible on aerial photographs within the grounds of Hopton Holiday village (S1). The site is centred on TM 5332 9995. The origin of these ring ditches is not certain. It is possible that they represent the remains of Bronze Age round barrows, although a more recent and agricultural or military origin is a more likely interpretation.
A pair of overlapping ring ditches is visible in 1941 (S1), both are approximately 15m in diameter. The origin of these features is not certain and it is possible that they relate a turning circle or possibly a recently removed military feature. The site is located within an area of World War Two military activity.
S. Massey (NMP), 30 October 2006.
