Full Description
13 June 1969. Ordnance Survey aerial photography.
Positive cropmarks visible on (S1).
Curvilinear feature and various amorphous features.
Possibly an occupation site.
Nothing on RAF aerial photographs or first edition Ordnance Survey.
D. Voisey (NLA), 16 November 1995.
March 2010. Norfolk NMP.
The cropmarks described above represent a group of enclosures, boundaries and a possible trackway or embanked boundary visible as earthworks, and, subsequently, cropmarks on aerial photographs (S2)-(S4), centred at TG 1177 0540. As suggested above, these probably represent former settlement and land division of medieval and/or post medieval date, in particular the two small trapezoidal enclosures visible adjacent to Wymondham Road towards the southern end of the site. Faden’s 1797 Map of Norfolk (S5) shows Great Melton common a few hundred metres to the south. Common-edge settlement is shown extending along this side of the Wymondham Road, and it seems plausible that the earthworks recorded here formed a northern outpost of this.
S. Tremlett (NMP), 26 March 2010.
