NHER 43364 (Monument record) - Cropmark and earthwork of a probable medieval to post medieval road and field boundary

March 2006. Norfolk NMP.
A cropmark of a curving linear ditch, probably a medieval field boundary, is visible on aerial photographs (S1). This cropmark is centred on TF 7285 3582. A slightly curving linear ditch is present. It extends for at least 310m on a roughly northwest to southeast alignment between TF 7275 3592 and TF 7295 3569. The alignment of this ditch continues to the southeast as a step in the Sedgeford and Fring parish boundary. It follows that line of a road marked along an estate map of Sedgeford dating to 1631 (S2). It is likely that the boundary ditch, and road, are of medieval date.

A curving linear bank visible as an earthwork on visualised lidar data (S3) corresponds with the ditch described above. As suggested above, this probably marks the road depicted on the 17th-century estate map (S2). On the lidar visualisations it can be seen to cross – or be crossed by or conjoined with – an east-to-west orientated bank, probably a medieval to post medieval field or furlong boundary, recorded as part of NHER 68569. As the lidar survey was flown relatively recently, it is likely that the earthwork still survives.
