NHER 38954 (Monument record) - Cropmark of possible Bronze Age ring ditch

November 2004. Norfolk NMP.
A ring ditch is visible as a cropmark on aerial photographs (S1), centred at TG 2842 3864. Of the various interpretations of the site, the possibility that it is a World War Two military feature, such as an emplacement, is least convincing. There is a faint earthwork or vegetation mark in this approximate area on an oblique aerial photograph taken in 1940 (S2), and disturbed ground, possibly indicating post-war military activity, on aerial photographs taken later in 1946 (S3). There is no exact correspondence between the location of these different features, however, and consequently no evidence that they are associated. In the absence of any positive indicators that it is a World War Two military site, therefore, it seems more likely to be the remains of a prehistoric burial mound or a post mill.
The ring ditch is slightly sub-circular in shape and measures up to 11m in diameter. A possible internal pit might represent a grave or the socket for the base of a mill post.

There is a passing reference in an undated press cutting in NCM Bolingbroke Collection to there having been a lime kiln in Taylors Lane; this might be connected with this site, or might be elsewhere – no map evidence.

Nothing on 1st edition O.S. maps, but site is noted in White's Directory from 1890 to 1883 (S4) and in Kelly's from 1896 to 1937 (S5). The site also appears on 25ins O.S. map 1885 as "Lime Kiln" (S6).
