Summary

A post medieval building, together with associated field boundaries, is depicted on historic maps. The building may have been known as Shickles Bar, and seems likely to have been part of the agricultural landscape which surrounded Southrepps Hall (NHER 13451) which lies 450m to the northeast. Several of the field boundaries depicted on the historic maps, together with additional boundaries which appear to form part of the same pattern of enclosure, are also visible as cropmarks on aerial photographs.

Map

May 2004, Norfolk NMP.
A building (centred at TG 2387 3683) and associated field boundaries are depicted on historic maps (S1-2). They are therefore of post-medieval date, although their origins may be earlier. They formed part of the agricultural landscape surrounding Southrepps Hall (NHER 13451) and appear to have been destroyed prior to the production of the first edition of the Ordnance Survey 6" maps c. 1889-91(S3). The building may have been known as Shickles Bar (S2), although this name could refer to other features in the area, including the East Norfolk Railway and the roads surrounding Southrepps Hall.

Several of the field boundaries depicted on historic maps, and also additional boundaries which appear to conform to the same pattern, are visible as cropmarks on aerial photographs (S4-6). Since this general pattern of enclosure is clearly depicted on the Southrepps Tithe Map (S1), the field boundaries have not been transcribed from the aerial photographs.
