Full Description
October 2002. Norfolk NMP.
There are four individual features visible (S1) although they probably originally formed three large mounds centred on TF 63012357, TF 6303 2352 and TF 6308 2351. The features are elongated to sub-rounded in plan and range in length/diameter from 50-107m.
These features form part of a dense concentration of saltern mounds located along the saltmarsh in North and South Wootton. Direct dating evidence is scarce but isolated finds of pottery would suggest that the majority of the mounds are medieval in date.
M. Brennand (NMP) 22 October 2002.
