Full Description
July 2023. Broads Hidden Heritage: Aerial Perspectives.
At least two ring ditches, possibly the remains of Bronze Age round barrows, and a linear ditch, perhaps of Roman date, are visible as cropmarks on aerial photographs (S1). Geophysical survey and evaluation excavations in this area (NHER 64820) did not identify the ring ditches; they may not have lain within any of the excavated trenches. The excavators suggested that the linear ditch, which was identified by the geophysical survey, may be part of a Roman enclosure (S2).
