Full Description
19 April 1976. Ordnance Survey aerial photography.
Postive earthworks. Ditch.
See file.
D. Voisey (NLA) 16 January 1995.
November 2012. Norfolk NMP.
The centre of the site has been amended from TL 9704 9355 to TL 9705 9357 as a result of the NMP mapping.
Earthworks of two parallel possible ditches are visible on aerial photographs (S1).
The date and function of these features are unknown, although it is possible that they relate to a medieval to post medieval trackway related to Shropham Hall, or a possible garden feature, since they appear to be on a similar alignment to features within the Hall gardens.
The fact that they are only visible on one set of photographs, however, suggests that they should be viewed with a hint of caution. It is not possible to associate them directly with features relating to Little Breckles Deserted medieval village (NHER 12152) or further possibly related earthworks to the north (NHER 57457).
E. Ford (NMP), 06 November 2012.
