Full Description
May 2002. Norfolk NMP.
The possible cropmarks of a slightly curvilinear bank of unknown date are visible on visible on 1946 RAF aerial photographs, (S1) and (S2). The archaeological origin and date of this feature is not certain. It is possible that it relates to a former field boundary as it is visible as a slight earthwork bank, potentially of medieval to post medieval date. However it is also possible that it is a natural ridge in the chalk and therefore any dating or even archaeological origin of this feature must be applied with caution.
It is visible in two sections running from TF 8291 4078 to TF 8265 4094. The longest stretch is to the west and is 135m long and between 7m and 12m wide. The bank appears to have been at least 230m long originally.
S. Massey (NMP), 17 May 2002.
