Full Description
February 2019. Breckland National Mapping Programme.
A possible undated ring ditch is seen as cropmark on aerial photographs (S1). The ring ditch consists of a wide roughly circular ditch with a break on the north side. This feature is in an area of dense patterned ground and may be the result of geological processes with a similar feature, which is most likely geological in origin, (located at TL 7822 9464) in close proximity. However if this feature is a ring ditch it may have related to a Neolithic hengeiform monument, a Bronze Age round barrow or a circular enclosure.
