Full description

March 2006. Norfolk NMP.
A cropmark of a ring ditch, probably a round barrow of Bronze Age date, is visible on aerial photographs (S1). This cropmark is located at TF 7474 3806. The ring ditch is slightly sub-circular in plan with a narrow ditch and an external diameter of 38m. It is likely that this ring ditch is of Bronze Age date and that it probably relates to a round barrow. A second ring ditch cropmark is located 90m to the southwest (NHER 11902). Both of these ring ditches are situated on a south facing slope at between 65m and 70m OD.

A low mound is visible at this location on visualised lidar data from a survey flown in 2018 (S2). It probably represents the remains of the internal mound associated with the ring ditch (possible Bronze Age round barrow) described above. At the same time, it should be noted that the lidar survey shows the ground surface in this area as being extremely uneven, with numerous rather amorphous mounds which could be of archaeological origin but might equally be geological. Only those mounds with corresponding with previously recorded sites of mounds, ring ditches or possible round barrows have been recorded. As the lidar survey was flown relatively recently, it is likely that the earthwork still survives.
