Full Description

June 2007. Norfolk NMP
A cropmark of an incomplete ring ditch of probable Bronze Age date is visible on aerial photographs (S1-S2). This cropmark is located at TG 3154 0384. Only the western half of the ring ditch is visible. It appears to be circular in plan with a narrow ditch and an external diameter of 14.5m. It is likely that it is of Bronze Age date and that it relates to a round barrow. Further ring ditch cropmarks are located 100m to the south-east (NHER 49525) and 118m to the south (NHER 49524).
