Finds are in Norwich Castle Museum. (3). (2-3) St Joseph AP's (ZA 24 & 25; St Joseph AP List) show ring ditches at TL 86829904 and TL 86929906.The 1849 finds could have come from either site (Ring ditches not visible on available AP's (RAF 1955)). Both sites were recognisable as bowl barrows when seen by R R Clarke and L V Grinsell in 1936. (4) Objects found in 1849 represent a typical Wessex type grave group. (See Illustration) Both sites are on arable land, at present under winter crop. No surface indications of barrows could be seen. (5-6) No change to field report of authority 5. St Joseph's quoted APs are not available at Norwich Museum nor are they held by Norfolk Archaeological Unit. OS APs (Flights of 1975) inspected show no ring ditches in an area of intense cultivation.
