The major linear feature extends to south, heading in a south-westerly direction from TF 8726 4197 to TF 8782 4273 for a total recorded length of 950m. The feature is fragmentary but appears as a parchmark with the possible traces of a narrow ditch on each side. This is likely to be a parchmark of the road from Burnham Thorpe to Holkham, as depicted on Clerks survey of 1590 (S3). The road was subsequently cut off and re-routed around the park edge, probably during the first half of the 18th century. An additional curvilinear feature and a linear feature are visible to the immediate south of the Kitchen Garden. These are likely to be ploughed out field boundaries, probably contemporary with the road.
