Full Description
March 2006. Norfolk NMP.
A cropmark of a ring ditch, probably relating to a Bronze Age round barrow, is visible on aerial photographs (S1-S3). This cropmark is centred on TF 7347 3560. The ring ditch is sub-circular in plan with a narrow ditch and an external diameter of 15m. It is likely that this ring ditch is of Bronze Age date and that it relates to a round barrow. It is situated on a southeast facing slope at approximately 43m OD. Other ring ditch cropmarks are located 130m to the west (NHER 43328) and 250m to the south (NHER 12157).

A small low mound is visible within the ring ditch described above, on visualised lidar data from a survey flown in 2018 (S4). This probably represents the remains of a Bronze Age barrow mound. As the lidar survey was flown relatively recently it is likely that the earthwork still survives.
