March 2007. Norfolk NMP.
The cropmarks of a ring ditch, probably the remains of a Bronze Age round barrow, are visible on aerial photographs to the south of Church Wood, Catfield (S1). The site is centred on TG 3811 2082. Another two possible round barrows are located to the east (NHER 49318-9). All three barrows are located on the edge of the valley overlooking the valley floor and the former fens.

The ring ditch is slightly irregular in shape, but broadly circular and with a diameter of approximately 20m. There is a break in the ditch to the west and this is likely to be original feature.
