Full Description
October 2006. Norfolk NMP.
The cropmarks of an incomplete ring ditch, potentially the remains of a Bronze Age round barrow, are visible on aerial photographs to the south of Hopton Manor (S1). The ring ditch is centred on TM 5232 9976. This possible round barrow is located within a barrow cemetery, see NHER 43527 for details.
The ring ditch is slightly sub-circular, 12m across, with the northeastern arc not visible. The cropmarks are quite faint and within an area of geological cropmarks and therefore it is possible that the feature is non-archaeological. However the site is surrounded by a number of more definite ring ditches and this could suggest that the cropmarks are genuine.
