August 2006. Norfolk NMP.
The cropmarks of a ring ditch, probably the remains of a Bronze Age round barrow, are visible on aerial photographs to the south of Hall farm, Burgh St Peter (S1-S2). The site is centred on TM 4851 9367. Another possible round barrow is visible 100m to the south (NHER 44883). These cropmarks sit within a wider spread of multi-phase cropmarks, see NHER 44886 for details.

The ring ditch is 25m in diameter, with several breaks in the ditch circuit. These are likely to be the result of cropmark response rather than original features.
