February 2013. Norfolk NMP.
Assessment of aerial photographs for the land to the immediate east of this site revealed earthworks relating to probable medieval to post medieval stock enclosure and/or land or field boundaries, see NHER 58617 for details. Although time did not allow for detailed correlation of the excavated features and the NMP mapping an initial assessment suggested that the medieval ditches excavated at this site follow the same alignment as those mapped as part of NMP and that they may be broadly contemporary.
