Full Description
September 2006. Norfolk NMP
Earthworks of field boundary ditches of probable medieval to early post medieval date are visible on aerial photographs (S1-S3). These earthworks are centred on TM 4167 9228. Earthworks of linear and curvilinear ditches are present on roughly north to south and west to east alignments. They are not marked on the 1839 Gillingham tithe map (S4) and do not fully conform to the modern field pattern. It is likely that they relate to a medieval to early post medieval field pattern that was partly cleared when the park around Gillingham Hall was established further to the west (NHER 30504).
