Full Description
September 2016. 'Brecks from Above' and Breckland National Mapping Programme.
The cropmarks and soilmarks of the three previously recorded ring ditches are clearly visible on the aerial photographs (S1-S4). These features were previously recorded under NHER 12854 – a site of Neolithic finds. The underlying ‘patterned’ periglacial marks make it hard to be certain whether other ring ditches are present. The ring ditches are likely to relate to a small Bronze Age round barrow cemetery. Although the Neolithic finds from the site could suggest a Neolithic origin for at least one of the barrows. The soilmarks of the three ring ditches indicate a broad ditches (up to 5m), although this may be the result of spreading of ditch material. Traces of the former mounds are visible on (S4).
