Full Description
December 2004. Norfolk NMP.
A cropmark of a possible incomplete ring ditch or enclosure is visible on aerial photographs (S1). This cropmark is centred on TG 3001 3417. The ring ditch is sub-circular in plan and has an external diameter of up to 24.5m. An 11m wide break in the ditch, possibly representing an entrance, is present on the northwest side of the enclosure. It is possible that this cropmark relates to a Bronze Age ring ditch or round barrow, but it equally it could be a sub-circular enclosure of unknown date.
