Map

June 2003. Norfolk NMP.
The two features are divided by a hedge and track (S1), although they may have originally been all one mound. The two mounds are irregular to sub-rounded with maximum diameters ranging from 37m to 58m, the eastern mound being the larger. These features probably represent medieval saltern mounds, formerly located on the saltmarsh to the east of the River Great Ouse.
M. Brennand (NMP), 24 June 2003.
