Full Description
July 2023. Aylsham and Brampton Aerial Investigation and Mapping (AIM) Project.
Part of a ring ditch, visible as a cropmark on aerial photographs (S1), is probably the site of a Bronze Age round barrow. It is one of six ring ditches clustered at this location; these have been recorded collectively as the site of a probable Bronze Age round barrow cemetery (NHER 66754). Only the southwestern portion of the ring ditch is visible, and while it is likely that it was once more complete and surrounded a circular mound, this is not certain; it could instead relate to some other kind of site in which the ring ditch was only ever partial.
It is possible that the partial ring ditch described below was previously recorded as part of NHER 12786, but the information held in that record is not detailed enough to be certain.
