March 2004. Norfolk NMP
Earthworks of banks and ditches associated with post medieval water meadows are visible on aerial photographs (S1-2). Further water meadow earthworks were visible at TG39562864 but were too faint to be mapped. A small group of banks and ditches, probably associated with the water meadow is centred at TG39732857 (S2). It is likely that the water meadows were originally more extensive along this stream valley. It appears that all of these earthworks had been levelled and were under arable agriculture by 1972 (S3).
