Summary
The cropmarks of a pair of possible Bronze Age round barrows may be visible on aerial photographs to the north of the Reepham Road, Swannington. Both possible plough-levelled barrows are visible as light-coloured circular cropmarks. It is entirely feasible that these relate to former pits or similar features, but have been recorded due to their presence approximately 300m from a Bronze Age round barrow cemetery (NHER 5006), components of which are also showing as plough levelled soil and cropmarks.

The cropmarks of a pair of possible Bronze Age round barrows may be visible on aerial photographs to the north of the Reepham Road, Swannington (S1). The site is centred on TG 1372 1781. Both possible plough-levelled barrows are visible as light-coloured circular cropmarks, approximately 12m in diameter.
