Full Description
April 2009. Norfolk NMP.
A possible Bronze Age penannular ring ditch or round barrow is visible as a cropmark on aerial photographs (S1) to the east of the Norwich to Cromer railway line at TG 2800 0905.
The internal diameter of the ring ditch measures approximately 13m, and the ditch varies in width from 2.2m to 4.4m, being broadest at its terminals, either side of a narrow (1.7m wide) possible entrance on its north side. It is of hengiform shape and therefore has affinities with earlier monuments of the late Neolithic to Early Bronze Age.
The cropmark is slightly ephemeral and blurred, and, being visible on only one set of photographs, is recorded with a note of caution.
E. Bales (NMP), 7 April 2009.
