Summary

The earthworks of a possible post medieval enclosure is visible on aerial photography from 1967. The site consists of earthwork ditches possibly defining three sides of a rectilinear enclosure. Parts of the enclosure may still be visible as earthworks on visualised lidar data from a survey flown in 2018; while it is probable that these still survive, the remainder of the enclosure may have been levelled.

August 2025. Northwest Norfolk Aerial Investigation and Mapping (AI&M) Project (volunteer strand).
Parts of the possible post medieval rectilinear enclosure described above may still be visible as earthworks on visualised lidar data from a survey flown in 2018 (S2). While it is probable that these elements still survive, the remainder of the enclosure may have been levelled. It should be noted, however, that the lidar visualisation is not particularly clear, perhaps due to vegetation cover.
