Full Description
June 2019. Breckland National Mapping Programme.
A possible undated roughly circular ditch is seen as cropmarks on aerial photographs (S1-S2). The feature may relate to a former explosive crater within the First World War tank training area (IKL 352) and the Second World War bombing range at Berners heath (IKL 353). It is also possible that this feature may relate to a levelled Bronze Age barrow. Finally, it is also possible that the feature may be natural in origin and is amongst a large amount of vegetation. The feature has been mapped by extent due to the uncertainty of the feature’s origin.
J.Powell (Norfolk Historic Environment Service), 17th June 2019.
