The cropmarks of a ring ditch, probably representing the remains of a Bronze Age round barrow, are visible on aerial photographs to the immediate north of the River Wensum at Fustyweed (S1). The site is centred on TG 0561 1851. This ring ditch appears to form a slight outlier to a Bronze Age round barrow cemetery to the north (NHER 50639); the main cemetery is located slightly higher on the valley slopes. This ring ditch, 19.5m in diameter, is located on a slight knoll on the edge of the river gravel terrace, at the very base of the valley side. Another possible ring ditch may be located 125m north of this ring ditch (NHER 50641), although the archaeological origin of this cropmark is uncertain given its location at the extreme edge of the field (see record for discussion). Other undated linear cropmarks recorded within the vicinity of this ring ditch are now recorded under NHER 50642.
