Full Description
Cotton's Drove Cropmark Complex.
Edge of complex extends into area ceded to Norfolk in 1990, remainder in adjacent parish of Elm, Cambridgeshire (Cambs HER 09715). Norfolk section consists of irregular linear features with suggested Roman date because of possible mausoleum or romano-celtic temple within complex in Cambridgeshire. Also described as drainage ditches.
However there has been a suggestion that the Norfolk section is mostly medieval field boundaries. [1].
1984. Plotted by Cambridge unit.
