Full Description
Ring ditch, not clear, circa 30-40m diameter (S2).
Part of barrow cemetery N of Shottisham - see also STT 004 & STT 006-010. 1981: Eastern half of E area ploughed: W of footpath heath. W area ploughed. All of E sheduled area is now in cultivation. When visited it was under stubble and had recently been subsoiled. Thin scatter of struckflint over most of surface. Some rabbit holes. Natural dip in W - centre corresponds to gap between 3 northern and 3 southern ring ditches (S1). 1985: W area freshly ploughed when visited. Nothing visible on surface (S1). January 1998: Scheduled area revised - details in (S1). NGR altered after (S2).
September 2015. Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty National Mapping Programme.
The ring ditch described above is visible as cropmarks on aerial photographs (S3)-(S12), and can be seen as a complete ring ditch on at least one image (S7).
A Bronze Age date has tentatively been suggested in the light of its apparent relationship with the barrow cemetery recorded as SHER STT 064. The available photographs were difficult to rectify hence the location of the features should be treated with a hint of caution.
