Full Description
Ring ditch, circa 18m wide, traversed by TYN 013. Other possible ring ditches occur circa 50m W and NW although these are probably part of TYN 013 (S1)(S2).
Also possibly part of TYN 067 (S3).
A ring-ditch is visible on aerial photographs as a cropmark, circa 90 metres to the north of Little Covert in Trimley St Martin parish. The cropmark of the ditch is between 1.5 and 2.5 metres wide, with a maximum diameter of approximately 22 metres. It is probable that it is the remains of a Bronze Age barrow. The ring ditch does not appear to have any positive association with the field system TYN 013 and appears to be traversed only by cropmarks of natural frost cracks. However it may have enclosed upstanding barrow eathworks when the field boundaries were laid out. (S4, S5)
