Full Description
The below possible Bronze Age ring ditch was previously recorded as part of NHER 11688.
March 2024. Wendling Beck and Fransham Aerial Investigation and Mapping (AIM) Project.
A section of a possible Bronze Age ring ditch is faintly visible on aerial photographs (S1-S8). The ring ditch may relate to the site of a Bronze Age round barrow. The cropmarks of geological features are also seen across the area on the consulted sources (for example S6). It is therefore possible that the feature could be geological in origin. The site may form part of a Bronze Age barrow cemetery (NHER 68100) along with the sites of further probable Bronze Age round barrows recorded in the vicinity.
