NHER 58560 (Cropmark and Earthwork record) - Cropmarks of a possible ring ditch

The Norfolk Heritage Explorer is a filtered version of the Norfolk HER intended for casual research. Please contact us to consult the full record.

Summary

The cropmarks of a possible large ring ditch may be visible on aerial photographs to the west of Cades Hill Farm, Attleborough. This possible ring ditch, which could feasibly represent the remains of a Bronze Age round barrow is visible in the far ground of an oblique aerial photograph taken of another probable ring ditch to the south (NHER 17219). Consequently the aerial photograph does not show this more northerly cropmark particularly clearly. Reference to additional vertical aerial photographs may suggest that it may relate to underlying natural features.

Full Description

January 2013. Norfolk NMP.
The cropmarks of a possible large ring ditch may be visible on aerial photographs to the west of Cades Hill Farm, Attleborough (S1). The site is centred on TM 0277 9617. This possible ring ditch, which could feasibly represent the remains of a Bronze Age round barrow is visible in the far ground of an oblique aerial photograph taken of another probable ring ditch to the south (NHER 17219). Consequently the aerial photograph does not show this more northerly cropmark particularly clearly. Reference to additional vertical aerial photographs, for example (S2) may suggest that it may relate to underlying natural features.
