Full Description
September 2004. Norfolk NMP.
A series of ditches, perhaps defining enclosures or fields, are visible as cropmarks on aerial photographs (S1), centred at TG 2337 3848. Their general orientation suggests that they might form an outlying part of one of the extensive field systems to the east (NHER 38808) which may date to the Romano-British period. It is at odds with that of the post medieval field system which is visible over the same area (NHER 38807). Alternatively, the rounded corners of the postulated enclosures is similar to those of the possible sheep folds or stock enclosures of unknown date identified to the east (NHER 13064).
The cropmarks are visible over an area measuring approximately 112.5m by 90m. The most complete enclosure or field is at least 98m long and 67m wide.
