Full Description
14 May 1997. Site visit to inspect earthwork (?Iron Age) reported by source.
Substantial terrace cut into hillside - name 'The Terrace' on Ordnance Survey - most probably a garden feature. The former rectory was just to the west, and a chalk-lined well still survives.
D. Gurney (NLA), 14 May 1997.

Earthworks probably relating to the post medieval terrace described above are visible on visualised lidar data from a survey flown in 2018 (S1). They have been mapped by extent. It is not clear to what extent they are natural rather than anthropogenic. If they are humanly created it is also not clear whether this was done specifically as part of a garden or was more a product of creating a level area to build the former rectory describe above and lay out its garden. A building, presumably the former rectory, is depicted on the Tithe Map surrounded by what is probably a formal garden (S2, plot 249). As the earthwork survey was flown relatively recently it is probable that the earthworks still survive.
S. Tremlett (Norfolk Historic Environment Service), 3 February 2026.
