Full Description
July 2007. Norfolk NMP
A cropmark of a Bronze Age ring ditch is visible on aerial photographs (S1). This cropmark is centred on TM 4076 9756 and was previously recorded as part of NHER 21761. The ring ditch is circular in plan with a narrow ditch and an external diameter of 24m. An oval pit cropmark, measuring just over 1.5m long, is present in the centre of the ring ditch. It is likely that the ring ditch is of Bronze Age date and that it relates to a round barrow. The central pit cropmark is probably a grave. An incomplete possible ring ditch cropmark is located 40m to the north-east (NHER 49647).
