Full description
May 2005. Norfolk NMP.
Part of a ring ditch is visible as a cropmark on an aerial photograph (S1), centred at TG 4850 1639. It is most likely to be the site of a Bronze Age round barrow, part of barrow cemetery NHER 27342, although the fact that it is visible on only one of the consulted aerial photographs means that its archaeological origin is not certain. The visible cropmark is circular in shape and measures approximately 17m in diameter.
