NHER 42428 (Monument record) - Medieval to post medieval drainage ditches and channels

January 2006. Norfolk NMP.
Earthworks of curvilinear and linear ditches or channels of probable medieval to post medieval date are visible on aerial photographs (S1 and S2). These earthworks are centred on TG 4639 0825 in an area of former marshland. A curvilinear ditch extends intermittently for approximately 570m on a roughly southwest to northeast alignment. It is flanked by earthwork banks for part of its length and appears to have other curvilinear ditches or channels leading into it. It is possible that this main ditch is a drainage ditch of medieval to post medieval date, although it may have originated as a natural channel. The other curvilinear features, may also have originated as natural channels, but were possibly later incorporated into the drainage system.
