Map

September 2002. Norfolk NMP.
Two parallel ditches can be seen in an interrupted form running from TF 8238 4199 to TF 8236 4215, visible on 1988 BKS aerial photographs (S1). These are approximately 13m apart. It is possible that this is part of a trackway. To the east of this is a second ditched feature; an L shaped ditch running from TF 8238 4211 to TF 8238 4213 then turning to TF 8242 4214. To the east of these features is a group of possible co-joined banked linears and an enclosure. Centred on TF 8247 4210 is a possible rectangular enclosure, measuring 33m by 24m. All of the banks appear to be 3m across. This enclosure is co-joined to another L shaped linear running from TF 8243 4215 to TF 8247 4207. The exact nature of these cropmarks is not certain, it is possible that the seemingly banked features are lines of chalk created by the plough.
