Full Description
March 2015. Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty National Mapping Programme.
A possible double ring ditch of uncertain archaeological significance and date is visible as a cropmark on aerial photographs (S1). If a genuine archaeological feature, its size and topographic position would support its interpretation as the remains of a Bronze Age round barrow. However, it could instead be a cropmark of geological origin. Comparable cropmarks, comprising a possible mound and ring ditch with associated features (LCS 199), also of uncertain significance, have been recorded 50m to the northwest.
S. Tremlett (Norfolk Historic Environment Service), 26th March 2015.
