Full Description
June 2007. Norfolk NMP
A cropmark of a large ring ditch or circular enclosure is visible on aerial photographs (S1-S2). This cropmark is centred on TG 3309 0334 and was previously recorded as part of NHER 32083. The possible ring ditch or enclosure is only half visible, with its eastern side cut by a road of at least post medieval origin (S3). It appears to be circular in plan with a 3m wide ditch and an external diameter of 62m. Its diameter makes it rather too large to be a round barrow of Bronze Age date, but it is possible that it is a circular enclosure of unknown or Neolithic to Bronze Age origin. Contained within the enclosure and partly overlapping the ditch are cropmarks of a possible building of unknown date (NHER 49522)
