Full Description
Cropmark of road seen on RAF air photograph 1946 by A. Gregory (NAU).
Apparently that marked on Faden's map 1797 (S1), cut by the chalkpit.
Section west of Bank Road marked on Nelson's map 17th century as well as cropmark.
January 2002. Norfolk NMP.
The cropmark of a trackway/road can be seen and has been mapped. It is visble on RAF 1946 (S2-3), CUCAP 1959 (S4) and Hunting survey 1969 (S4) aerial photographs. It appears to be showing up as a narrow bank. The main part of this track/road can also be seen on Faden’s 1797 map of Norfolk (S1). This road is, therefore, of at least post-medieval date. The main part of the track/road runs northeast to southwest from NGR TF7280 4296 to TF7229 4210, but there does appear to be some form of continuation on the other side of the current road junction. This section runs from NGR TF7221 4205 to 7151 4154, and clearly seems to align with the main section. (This section is an extension to the original road plotted on the NHER map).
H. Clare (NMP), 29 April 2002.
