Full Description
2004. Earthwork Rapid Identification Survey.
Norfolk Ancient Woodland Historic Environment Rapid Identification Survey Pilot Study.
Great Wood:
Fragmentary, but often substantial remains of hollow ways and roadways, in part noted in earlier reports in file.
Limited enclosure remains, and various pits and ponds, the latter probably clay-lined.
Sub-circular mound on line of parish boundary possibly a very degraded barrow.
Early map evidence throws doubt on classification of all as Ancient Woodland.
See report (S1) for further information, including detailed descriptions of the individual features identified (Contexts 1-37). The results of this survey are also summarised in (S2).
