Compiled by J. Bown (NAU), 1 October 1980.

September 2025. Northwest Norfolk Aerial Investigation and Mapping (AI&M) Project.
The linear cropmark described above is only visible on one of the consulted sources (S2). The appearance of the mark is such that it is almost certainly a mark of recent agricultural origin, related to the application of fertiliser or similar. It has not been mapped by the project.
