The cropmarks of a Bronze Age round barrow are visible on aerial photographs to the south of the Norwich Road, Strumpshaw (S1). The site is centred on TG 3532 0789. The ring ditch is 25m in diameter with a break or causeway in the ditch to the west. The remains of a central barrow, 20m in diameter, are visible as a lighter cropmark. A possible pit appears to have been dug into the northern side of the barrow. It is not clear whether this relates to an internment or an intrusive event, such as an excavation or quarry pit. A series of fragmentary enclosures and ditches are recorded to the immediate south of this site (NHER 49607), although it is not clear whether any of the features are contemporary. A possible second ring ditch or barrow may be visible, see NHER 49607 for details.
