Full Description
March 2012. Norfolk NMP.
The cropmarks of a possible ring ditch of unknown date and significance, are visible on aerial photographs (S1). The site is centred on TM 1148 9932 and consists of a faint semi-circular cropmark that appears to be on the line of the boundary for the medieval deer park, see NHER 9945 for details. The cropmark is relatively faint and it is possible that it relates to agricultural activity. Although a similar semi-circular cropmark has been mapped 800m to the west (NHER 57361). This site has been tentatively interpreted as the remains of a Bronze Age round barrow and it is possible that this incomplete ring ditch also represents a former barrow site. However given its location it is also possible that it relates to something associated with the deer park boundary, as it appears to be neatly bisected in half by this feature.
