NHER 27106 (Monument record) - Possible post medieval sea defences/boundary banks

October 2002. Norfolk NMP.
The feature is visible in two separate lengths (S1) running from TF 6301 2336 to TF 6317 2339 for a length of 161m, and from TF 6329 2337 to TF 6350 2342 for a length of 240m. Although it cannot be proven, this was probably originally all one feature, utilising the edge of a saltern mound (NHER 27120) in the centre, where the course is no longer discernible.
The feature probably post-dates the medieval saltern mounds NHER 27120 and 27121, and is probably Late medieval or early Post medieval in date. It may have been part of a wider system of sea defence and land reclamation within this area, that would have been effectively made redundant by the construction of sea defence bank NHER 5528 during the seventeenth or early eighteenth century. The feature may have simply been constructed to control the course of a marsh channel or it may have simply have been a boundary.
