Cropmark of ring ditch.

March 2006. Norfolk NMP.
The ring ditch described above has not been identified on the consulted aerial photographs of the site, including the CUCAP aerial photograph on which it was originally recognised (S1). There are a number of curvilinear cropmarks visible in this area which are probably of geological or recent agricultural origin, and the ‘ring ditch’ may equate to one of these.
S. Tremlett (NMP), 23 March 2006.
