NHER 66757 (Cropmark and Earthwork record) - Cropmarks of possible Bronze Age conjoined ring ditches and undated pit

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

Two possible conjoined ring ditches, feasibly of prehistoric date and relating to Bronze Age round barrows, are visible as cropmarks on aerial photographs, together with an undated but potentially contemporary pit. The cropmarks are fragmentary, however, and their archaeological significance is uncertain. They could instead be cropmarks of geological origin.

Full Description

May 2023. Aylsham and Brampton Aerial Investigation and Mapping (AIM) Project.
Two possible conjoined ring ditches are visible as cropmarks on aerial photographs (S1), together with an undated but potentially contemporary pit. The ring ditches are feasibly of prehistoric date, and could relate to Bronze Age round barrows. The cropmarks are fragmentary, however, and visible on only one source, and their archaeological significance is uncertain. They could instead be cropmarks of geological origin.
