Full Description

December 2004. Norfolk NMP.
A negative cropmark of a circular feature is visible on aerial photographs (S1-2). This cropmark is located at TG 3092 3185. The appearance of the cropmark suggests a bank feature although it is possible that this in fact a ring ditch. The overall diameter of the circle is 27m with a bank or ditch width of 2.5m. It is possible that this feature could be a ring ditch of Bronze Age date or associated with a World War Two anti aircraft gun battery (See unidentified military site NHER 39000).
