Full Description
1976. Aerial photography. Cropmark of ring ditch.
E. Rose (NAU) 12 September 1977.
The centre point of the site has been altered from TG 5087 0249 to TG 5087 0248.
September 2006. Norfolk NMP.
The cropmarks of a ring ditch, probably the remains of a Bronze Age round barrow, are visible on aerial photographs to the east of Wheatcroft Farm, Bradwell (S1-2). The ring ditch is centred on TG 5087 0248 and is 29m in diameter. The ditch varies in width from 1.5-2.5m. The monument is located just above the 10m contour and overlooks the endpoint of a valley and former channel to the southwest.
S. Massey (NMP), 14 September 2006.
January 2013. Geophysical Survey.
Magnetometer survey of proposed development area.
This survey identified a circular ditched feature that almost certainly corresponds with this cropmark ring-ditch. This feature is well-defined, apparantly continuous and contains two pit-like anomalies.
See report (S3) and NHER 62730 for further details.
