Full Description
May 2022. Broads Hidden Heritage: Aerial Perspectives.
The cropmark of an undated ring ditch, probably the site of a Bronze Age round barrow, is visible on aerial photographs (S1). The ring ditch is one of several recorded in this area (see NHER 65001, NHER 65002, NHER 21819), which together appear to have been part of a dispersed cemetery or funerary landscape. The cropmark of a palaeochannel, which may have been significant in the choice of location for the barrows, is visible a short distance (70m) to the northeast.
