NHER 51853 (Cropmark and Earthwork record) - Site of probable Bronze Age round barrow

The Norfolk Heritage Explorer is a filtered version of the Norfolk HER intended for casual research. Please contact us to consult the full record.

Summary

A ring ditch, probably marking the site of a Bronze Age round barrow, is visible as a cropmark on aerial photographs and as a sub-circular anomaly on a geophysical survey undertaken in 2010. A second ring ditch (NHER 51854), also interpreted as a possible round barrow, lies only 110m to the south.

NMP mapping has altered the central grid reference of the site from TG 11296 03123 to TG 1128 0313.
The ring ditch described above is visible as a cropmark on Google Earth aerial images from 2006 (S1). It probably marks the site of a Bronze Age round barrow. The cropmark of its northwest side is obscured by the adjacent field boundary and modern agricultural marks, but the ring ditch is broadly circular in plan and measures approximately 25m in diameter.
S. Tremlett (NMP), 23 June 2011.

September-October 2010. Geophysical Survey.
Magnetometer survey of proposed development area (Field 1).
Corresponding sub-circular anomaly identified, measuring approximately 24m in diameter.
See report (S2) and NHER 55987 for further details.
