NHER 27378 (Cropmark and Earthwork record) - Cropmarks of possible field boundaries

June 2005. Norfolk NMP.
Cropmarks of undated linear ditches, possibly field boundaries, are visible on aerial photographs (S1). These cropmarks are centred on TG 5048 1136. In total eight sections of ditch cropmark are visible. Three of these form an intermittent south southwest to north northeast alignment for a maximum distance of 220m. The remaining ditches form two T shaped arrangements suggesting incomplete enclosures or fields. It is possible that they form the boundary of a single trapezoidal field that measures 64m by 42m. However, the visible cropmarks are too incomplete for this to be certain. The date of these possible field boundary ditches is unknown and could represent several periods of activity. One of the ditches in the southwest of the group cuts, or is cut by, a ring ditch cropmark of a possible Bronze Age round barrow (NHER 27377). Surface and metal detector finds from this field include Roman, medieval and post medieval coins and tokens, a Late Saxon disc brooch and medieval to post medieval pottery (NHER 17360).
