NHER 45105 (Cropmark and Earthwork record) - Site of possible Bronze Age ring ditch

October 2006. Norfolk NMP.
A possible ring ditch is visible as a cropmark on aerial photographs (S1), centred at TG 4457 1873. It lies below 5m OD, which, given both the usual ‘sky line’ location for such monuments and the Broads area’s history of fluctuations in relative water levels, might argue against this interpretation. Its size and general appearance, however, support it, and prehistoric activity has been recorded in the area. At the same time, the possibility that the cropmark is a product of recent agricultural activity cannot be ruled out.

The east side of the ring ditch is masked but it appears to be slightly ovoid in plan. It measures up to 30m in diameter. A possible internal pit, perhaps containing a burial or other ceremonial deposit, is visible southeast of centre.
