Map

July 2006. Norfolk NMP
Earthworks of two linear ditches of probable post medieval date are visible on aerial photographs (S1). These earthworks are centred on TM 3398 9302. Two earthwork ditches are present on roughly west to east alignments. They extend for 86m between a modern field boundary and a stream. The northernmost of the two ditches is flanked by low earthwork banks. Neither of these ditches is marked on the 1840 Broome tithe map (S2). It is likely that they had a boundary or drainage function and are of post medieval date.
