Map

June 2007. Norfolk NMP.
The cropmarks of a possible ring ditch, potentially the remains of a Bronze Age round barrow, are visible on aerial photographs to the south of dismantled railway line at Strumpshaw (S1). The site is centred on TG 3419 0783. The ring ditch is approximately 16m in diameter with a break or causeway in the ditch to the west. The edges of this circular cropmark are quite indistinct and blurred and it is possible that it has been created by recent agricultural activity, rather than being of definite archaeological origin.
