October 2002. Norfolk NMP.
Cropmarks of a ring ditch are visible on RAF 1946 aerial photographs (S3) and NLA aerial photographs from 1977 (S4). The site is centred on TF9370 4115 and has a diameter of about 45m. There appears to be a gap in the circuit towards the east, it is not clear whether this is an actual gap/entrance, or whether that section is just not showing due to other factors. There does however seem to be a cropmark of a chalk pit/solution hollow coinciding with that point, which could well mask any other features.
It seems likely that this site is of Bronze Age date, though this is not certain.
