Full Description
Ring ditch, circa 25m diameter. Appears to be showing as shadow mark, due to differential in crop height? (S1).
October 2013. Lothingland, Lowestoft and North Suffolk Coast and Heaths National Mapping Programme.
The cropmarks of a possible oval ring ditch, potentially represent the remains of a Bronze Age round barrow are visible on aerial photographs (S2-S3). The site is centred on TM 5190 9823. Although the appearance of the cropmarks – and the lighter interior of the ring – could suggest the site relates to an infilled pit and not a former barrow . However other ring ditches and probable barrows have been recorded in the area.
