Full Description
September 2010. Norfolk NMP.
The cropmarks of a ring ditch, possibly representing the remains of Bronze Age round barrow, are visible on aerial photographs to the west of Lodge Farm Costessey (S1). The ring ditch, which is centred on TG 1637 1043, is only partially visible and is approximately 13m in diameter. Another ring ditch is located approximately 100m to the east (NHER 12791). Both of these ring ditches are relatively close to concentrations of Neolithic and Bronze Age worked flint and burnt flint, see records NHER 37646 and 39351 for details and discussion and a Later Bronze Age hoard has been recovered (NHER 16398) approximately 450m away (S2).
