Full Description
20 June 1990. NAU air photography.
Two or three ring ditches and adjacent linear cropmarks.
D. Edwards (NAU).
These are thick white circles of very small diameter actually sitting on top of the linear feature in a line; the linear feature seems to be a removed field boundary. They are not at all like Bronze Age ring ditches; could they be tree pits in the former hedgerow, or wartime structures, or something similar?
E. Rose (NLA), 27 September 1995.
June 2007. Norfolk NMP
Cropmarks of four small circular features are visible on aerial photographs (S1-S2). Their location corresponds with trees shown along a field boundary on the first edition 6 inch to the mile Ordnance Survey map (S3). They are not of archaeological origin and were not mapped by the Norfolk NMP.
J. Albone (NMP), 14 June 2007
