Full Description
October 2006. Norfolk NMP
A cropmark of a hengiform double ring ditch, probably of late Neolithic to Bronze Age date, is visible on aerial photographs (S1). This cropmark is centred on TG 3134 1017. The outer ring ditch has a sub-circular penannular plan with a 4m wide ditch and an external diameter of 29m. It has a single opening on its south side measuring 6m across. The inner ring ditch is 2m wide with an external diameter of 20m and also has an opening on its south side. It is possible that this ring ditch relates to a round barrow of Bronze Age date or a hengiform monument of Neolithic date. It is situated at approximately 17m OD on the northwest facing slope of a small valley containing the Witton Run watercourse. Other ring ditch cropmarks are located 150m to the west (NHER 45129) and 325m to the southwest (NHER 12827).
