Summary

A linear ditch of unknown date and function is visible as a cropmark on aerial photographs. It is possible that it forms an outlying part of an extensive field system of probable Iron Age to Roman date which has been identified to its southeast (e.g. NHER 38961). Alternatively, it might be associated with field boundaries of medieval and post medieval date (NHER 38963 and NHER 38960 respectively) that have been mapped to its northeast. Unfortunately, too little is visible to draw any firm conclusions, and it is also possible that the cropmark is a product of modern agricultural activity rather than the presence of an archaeological feature.

Map

November 2004. Norfolk NMP.
A linear ditch is visible as a cropmark on aerial photographs (S1), from TG 2625 3718 to TG 2628 3715. Several field systems or groups of field boundaries have been identified in the surrounding area, and the ditch could be associated with any of these. At the same time, it is visible on only one set of aerial photographs and in the absence of supporting evidence its archaeological origin is not certain. It is visible for a length of approximately 33.5m.
