NHER 27696 (Cropmark and Earthwork record) - Cropmark of a ring ditch or possible pound

September 2005. Norfolk NMP.
A cropmark of a curved ditch, possibly an incomplete ring ditch of Bronze Age date, or part of a medieval to post medieval pound, is visible on aerial photographs (S1). This cropmark is located at TG 4763 1367. A curved ditch, measuring approximately 35m in length is visible as a cropmark. It is located 90m to the east of the double ring ditch cropmark of a Bronze Age round barrow (NHER 27664). It is possible that it is also part of an incomplete ring ditch. If this were the case it would have a diameter of approximately 38m. The cropmark is located immediately to the south of Pound Lane and is surrounded by cropmarks of a Roman field system and medieval to post medieval property boundaries (NHER 30627). One to the medieval to post medieval ditches appears to join the curved ditch from the south, suggesting a possible contemporary date. It is possible that this ditch related to the pound, referred to in the name of the adjacent thoroughfare, if is location is otherwise not known.
