Full Description
On common under 'b' of Mulbarton town name on (S1).
Circular mark, with small circle in centre and loop in outer rim as if made by a revolving object that has not kept to the same course. Almost certainly not a ring ditch.
Site of a roundabout?
Checked by E. Rose (NAU) 20 October 1976.
Site visited E. Rose (NAU) 9 November 1978.
Ring clearly visible on common, approximately 95m across, paler and longer grass and softer earth, slightly depressed - all refer to circumference only.
Site plotted on overlays for NAU NHER 6 inch map TG 10 SE.
D. Edwards (NAU) 18 January 1980.
It should be noted that circuses come to the common.

Google earth imagery shows a circular feature with a dug out feature within its centre.
See (S2) for further details.

The feature described above is visible on aerial photographs (S3-S6). However, it was not thought to be archaeological in origin. It does not appear on World War Two images of the area (S7), and is therefore thought to be natural or modern in origin.
E. Bales (NMP), 27 April 2011.
