Full Description
Single ring ditch, circa 20m diameter, noted on SAU AP, 1977 and 1979 (S1) (S2).
October 2013. Lothingland, Lowestoft and North Suffolk Coast and Heaths National Mapping Programme.
The cropmark of a ring ditch, potentially representing the remains of a Bronze Age round barrow, are visible on aerial photographs (S3) and is located within an area of enclosures and fields (LUD 008). The ring ditch is centred on TM 5118 9923 and is 18.5m in diameter. See LUD 013 and LUD 040 for other nearby ring ditches. Although it is worth noting that some smaller ring ditches to southeast (LUD 043) have tentatively recorded as being the remains of later prehistoric to Roman roundhouses.
