Summary

A group of undated linear features is visible as cropmarks on aerial photographs. As they are very fragmentary it is difficult to interpret them, although at least one could be a post medieval field boundatry ditch.

Map

April 2005. Norfolk NMP.
A group of ditches is visible as cropmarks on aerial photographs ((S1) to (S2)), centred at TG 2855 3743. The cropmarks are so fragmentary that they are more or less impossible to interpret. One ditch, however, which lies towards the southern end of the site and is aligned east to west, corresponds with a field boundary depicted on Gimingham Tithe Map (S3). Another, which is aligned north to south, is also shown on this map, but is visible on a later Ordnance Survey map (S4) and has consequently not been mapped. It should be noted that due to the extremely fragmentary nature of the cropmarks, the risk that some of the mapped 'ditches' are in fact geological or modern agricultural features is relatively high. In addition, due to a lack of suitable control points, the two ditches at the northern end of the site were sketched from an unrectified part of a photograph.
