Full Description
1976.
Ring ditch cut by pipe trench.
Located E. Rose 14 September 1977.
March 2006. Norfolk NMP.
A cropmark of a ring ditch, probably a Bronze Age round barrow, is visible on aerial photographs (S1-S3). The central grid reference for this cropmark has been adjusted from TF 7038 3892 to TF 7037 3893. The ring ditch is circular in plan with a 6.5m wide ditch and an external diameter of 39m. It is likely that it is of Bronze Age date and that it relates to a round barrow. It is located at the top of a northwest facing slope at approximately 51m OD. The aerial photographs clearly show a cropmark of a water pipe trench cutting across the ring ditch on a northwest to southeast alignment.
