Full Description
February 2004, Norfolk NMP
Group of Medieval to Post Medieval date earthwork ditches, bank and a circular mound or platform centred TF 6138 2179. These features are visible as earthworks in pasture on RAF aerial photographs from 1946 (S1). The circular mound is 13m across and centred on TF 6142 2169. The purpose of this feature is unknown, although it may have been a building platform of some sort. The bank and ditches are all parallel and the longest is 80m in length. These are likely to be old field boundaries preserved in the pasture.
S. Massey (NMP), 10 February 2004.
