Full Description
4 June 1980. NAU air photography (S1).
Cropmarks. Circular cropmark of possible ring ditch or mill mound. Evidence for some central feature. Possibly for cross trees, if not burial.
D. Edwards (NAU), 11 March 1981.
September 2010. Norfolk NMP.
The above referred to ring ditch was not mapped as part of the NMP project. Assessment of the above aerial photograph (S1) and other available vertical photography indicated that the circular feature recorded may result from underlying geological deposits.
S. Horlock (NMP), 29 September 2010.
August-September 2011. Trial Trenching.
Evaluation of large proposed development area.
A trench placed across the centre of the recorded location of these cropmarks revealed no archaeologically -significant features.
See report (S2) and NHER 55849 for further details.
