Full Description
January 2008. Norfolk NMP.
The cropmarks described below were previously recorded as part of NHER 36447.
An undated ring ditch is visible as a cropmark on aerial photographs (S1)-(S3), centred at TG 2731 1582. It probably represents the site of a Bronze Age round barrow, part of a linear barrow cemetery (NHER 50816), of which this is the northwesternmost visible element. Its western side may be respected by a linear/curvilinear ditch (part of NHER 50811). At the same time, it should be noted that the cropmarks are rather faint and ill defined, and as such a geological or recent agricultural origin for the ring ditch cannot be entirely ruled out.
The ring ditch is broadly circular, although verging towards oval, in plan, and measures up to 28.5m in diameter.
S. Tremlett (NMP), 22 January 2008.
