 The three possible Norfolk examples are relatively small and have a marked circularity in comparison to many other causewayed enclosure sites in England

The way in which they were used is not fully understood, but they may have been a meeting point for small, dispersed groups of people living in the surrounding area, a place where the exchange of goods, ritual feasting and other ceremonial activities might have taken place.All three enclosures, the only sites of this type known from the county, are notable for their small size and circular shape.In national terms their morphology is rather anomalous, a characteristic which can be interpreted in a number of ways.
