Full Description
September 2007. Norfolk NMP.
The cropmarks of a possible ring ditch, potentially representing the remains of a Bronze Age round barrow, are visible on aerial photographs within arable in the vicinity of Gravelpit Plantation, Morton on the Hill (S1). The site is centred on TG 1243 1474 and the potential feature is located on a slight knoll of higher ground on the edge of the river valley.
The site consists of a semi-circular ditch with a span of 23.5m. It is not clear whether this feature was originally semi-circular or represents a partially visible or incomplete ring ditch.
