Map

January 2006. Norfolk NMP.
Earthworks of a linear drainage ditch of probable medieval to post medieval date are visible on aerial photographs (S1). These earthworks are centred on TG 4612 0790 in an area of former marshland. A 100m long section of linear ditch is present on a roughly southwest to northeast alignment. It is flanked by earthwork banks on both sides for part of its length. This ditch was not marked on the 1839 Halvergate tithe map (S2) and is probably of medieval to post medieval date.
