27 May 1974. Ordnance Survey air photography.
Soilmark of ring ditch. These rather vague soilmarks may just be natural features, but I have given the benefit of doubt.

May 2002. Norfolk NMP.
The feature is oval in plan with a maximum diameter of 36m (S1). This ring ditch is probably caused by a geologically natural feature, but the cropmark does appear as the reverse of other sinkholes in the area. Topographic location also might suggest that this is not a prehistoric feature.
M. Brennand (NMP), 15 May 2002.
