Summary

Aerial photographs taken in 1976 showed the earthworks of two parallel ditches at this location. 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 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).
