Full Description
The cropmarks previously under this number are now recorded under NHER 43496 and NHER 42262.
Linear cropmark running from field (and former parish) boundary near Warren Farm (demolished), crossed by two parallel lines, to caravan site which probably masks its southern continuation.
Towards its south end the feature is crossed by east to west linear marks (S1).
Located by E. Rose (NAU), 11 January 1978.
October 2006. Norfolk NMP.
Aerial photography shows the cropmarks of a linear feature crossed by further lines. The linear ditch is now recorded under NHER 43496 and is possibly part of a late prehistoric field system. The additional ‘lines’ are the part of the World War Two anti-tank ditch and associated anti-invasion defences (NHER 42262) that run inland from the coast at Gorleston golf course.
S. Massey (NMP), 24 October 2006.
