Full Description
January 2005. Norfolk NMP.
A cropmark of a possible ring ditch is visible on aerial photographs (S1). This cropmark is centred on TG 3232 3257. The ring ditch is circular in plan and has an external diameter of 14m. The ditch is less than 1m wide and has a 12m wide break in its southwest side. It is possible that this cropmark is of Bronze Age date and it could relate to a small round barrow. However it is also possible that it is natural in origin, as other geological marks are present in the vicinity.
