Map

December 2004. Norfolk NMP.
Cropmarks of an incomplete rectilinear enclosure of unknown date are visible on aerial photographs (S1-2). These cropmarks are centred on TG 3240 3120. An incomplete rectilinear enclosure with rounded corners is present on a southwest to northeast alignment. It measures 33m long by 22m wide. There appear to be three breaks in the ditch, but it is not clear whether these represent entrances. A curving ditch cropmark measuring 13m by 5m across is present in the northwest side of the enclosure. Although the date of this enclosure is not known, it is possible that it is from the Iron Age to Roman period.
