The Norfolk Heritage Explorer is a filtered version of the Norfolk HER intended for casual research. Please contact us to consult the full record.

Summary

Earthworks of linear banks and ditches, probably relating to a medieval to post medieval trackway and field boundaries are visible on aerial photographs. Earthworks of two parallel banks and a ditch are present on a southwest to northeast alignment. They appear to continue the line of a track leading to the southwest from Abbots Farm. Further to the southeast is a second ditch earthwork on a parallel alignment. It is likely that these earthworks are of medieval to post medieval date.
