Full Description

September 2004. Norfolk NMP.
Cropmarks of an incomplete undated ring ditch are visible on aerial photographs (S1). The eastern half of a possible ring ditch centred on TG 3784 3044 is visible. If complete the ring ditch would have a diameter of 39m. It is possible that this ring ditch is of Bronze Age date and could relate to a round barrow. However, it is also possible that it is of agricultural origin.
J. Albone (NMP), 1 September 2004.
