Full Description
January 2006. Norfolk NMP.
Earthworks of curvilinear ditches or channels of possible medieval to post medieval date, are visible on aerial photographs (S1). These earthworks are centred on TG 4632 0972. Two sections of narrow curvilinear ditch or channel are present. These are both aligned roughly north to south and lead onto an extant drainage ditch. It is possible that they have a natural origin and they may have been incorporated into the drainage pattern during the medieval or post medieval periods.

Although the new dyke passed immediately to the north of the easternmost earthwork no corresponding remains were identified.
