Summary

Two intersecting field boundaries of post medieval date are visible as the cropmarks of banks and ditches on aerial photographs. One of the boundaries appears to be depicted on Northrepps Tithe Map (1840) and in general the cropmarks fit into the pattern of post medieval enclosure shown on historic Ordnance Survey maps. They are therefore likely to date to the post medieval period although the origins of the field system may lie in an earlier period.

Map

October 2004. Norfolk NMP.
Field boundaries of probable post medieval date are visible as soilmarks on aerial photographs (S1), centred at TG 2501 3920. The bank and ditch aligned east to west are likely to correspond with the boundary depicted on Northrepps Tithe Map (S2) although they perhaps lie further to the south than is shown on the map. A rectangular feature, defined by lines of rather patchy white soilmarks at the western end of the east to west boundary, appears to be the product of modern agricultural activity rather than archaeology. Consequently it has not been mapped but there is a small possibility that it in fact represents the remains of an embanked enclosure or the foundations of a building associated with the field boundaries.
