NHER 53679 (Cropmark and Earthwork record) - Cropmarks of at least one probable round barrow

This site was previously recorded under NHER 12808.

June 2010. Norfolk NMP.
The cropmarks of one ring ditch, possibly two, which are likely to represent the remains of Bronze Age round barrows, are visible on aerial photographs to west of Easton (S1-S2). The site is centred on TG 1235 1091 and was previously recorded under NHER 12808. The main ring ditch is 25m in diameter. The possible cropmarks of a smaller partial ring ditch, 15m in diameter, may be visible on Google Earth photographs (S2) overlying or underlying the larger monument. A Bronze Age barrow cemetery (NHER 12809) is located approximately 750m to the southwest. Both sites are located on the valley side overlooking a water channel to the north.

July-October 2020. Trial Trenching.
Evaluation of land on route of proposed North Tuddenham to Easton A47 Improvement Works.
A trench place across the possible ring-ditch revealed a number of features but none appeared to be related to this cropmark. The more convincing cropmark ring-ditch was not examined.
See report (S3) and NHER 65212 for further details.
