Full Description
May 2007. Norfolk NMP
Cropmarks of an incomplete ring ditch of probable Bronze Age date are visible on aerial photographs (S1-S3). This cropmark is located at TG 4137 0657 and was previously recorded as part of NHER 11682. Only the southern half of the ring ditch is visible as a cropmark and it appears that the northern half has been destroyed by quarrying. The visible half suggests that the ring ditch has a circular plan with a narrow ditch and an external diameter of 27m. It is likely that this ring ditch is of Bronze Age date and it probably relates to a round barrow. A second ring ditch cropmark of similar size is located 175m to the south-east (NHER 11682).
