Full Description
November 2009. Norfolk NMP.
The cropmarks of a small ring ditch, potentially representing the remains of a Bronze Age round barrow, are visible on aerial photographs to the south of Poringland (S1). The site is centred on TG 2683 0061. The ring ditch measures 11m in diameter and may represent a small Bronze Age round barrow. A linear barrow cemetery is located approximately 550m to the southeast (NHER 52421). An alternative interpretation is that is relates to the eaves-drip gully from an Iron Age to Roman date roundhouse. The feature lies within an area of fragmentary fields and boundaries, assumed to be of broadly Roman date (NHER 53224).
