Full Description
'Ring ditch?' recorded in site index (circa October 1998) with 8 figure NGR and drawn on HER map as being circa 100m diameter - other details not yet located.
Note: probably the same as the circular plantation of circa 100m diameter marked on the 1880s OS map just slightly to the west.
January 2020. Breckland National Mapping Programme.
The above ring ditch was not seen on the sources consulted as part of this project. A circular probable post medieval forestry plantation can be seen on the aerial photographs form the 1940s (S1) until the 1990s (S2). It is most likely that the ring ditch relates to the planation and has therefore not been mapped by this project. The plantation has also been mapped well on the First Edition Ordnance Survey Map (S3).
