Summary

A group of undated cropmark ditches are visible on aerial photographs to the east of Stone Hill. Some of these features are likely to represent former field boundaries and a possible trackway. However many of these linears are quite fragmentary and in some cases indistinct and it is therefore possible that some of them are agricultural in origin.

December 2004. Norfolk NMP.
A group of undated cropmark ditches are visible on aerial photographs to the east of Stone Hill, Runton (S1). Some of these features are likely to represent former field boundaries and a possible trackway.

The site is centred on TG 2067 4159. Two of the linears converge into a parallel course and it is possible that they defined a trackway or similar feature.

However many of these linears are quite fragmentary and in some cases indistinct and it is therefore possible that some of them are agricultural in origin. There are quite broad and blurred soil marks in the approximate location of these cropmarks in 1967 (S2), although the photograph is not sufficiently clear to distinguish whether these are agricultural or geological.
