Full Description
March 2004. Norfolk NMP.
The earthworks of possible garden or horticultural features are visible on aerial photographs (S1), centred at TG 2395 3602. They lie to the rear of a 16th or 17th almshouse (NHER 6767), which is situated 20m to their north-east, and they may be associated with this building. Alternatively they may relate to the adjacent properties to its south which also back onto this area of land. Cultivation of the area after 1946 appears to have levelled the earthworks.
The earthworks consist of a rather sinuous rectilinear bank which divides the site from north-west to south-east. To its south-west, a probable drainage ditch meets it at a right angle. To its north-east a number of virtually parallel ditches may define further garden features or horticultural plots.
