Full Description
January 2003. Norfolk NMP.
A track or road can be seen cutting across the field on the 1946 RAF (S1) and 1988 BKS (S2) aerial photographs. It seems likely to be of about post medieval date and appears to still be in use on the 1946 images, though has gone out of use shortly after. This track runs from TG0512 4367 to TG0475 4387, where it reaches a wood. It seems to be (or have once been) a driveway for Cley Hall and is shown on both the 1 inch (S3) and 1:10560 (S4) 1st edition Ordnance Survey maps and on the 25 inch 2nd edition Ordnance Survey map (S5), but it is no longer shown on the current 1:10000 Ordnance Survey map (S6).
(On the BKS images the track is showing up as a crop/soilmark of compacted ground).
H. Clare (NMP), 16 January 2003.
