Summary

Cropmarks of rectilinear field boundaries of medieval to early post medieval date are visible on aerial photographs. These cropmarks are located to the north of Manor Farm at Little Plumstead. Rectilinear field boundaries are present on a similar alignment to the modern field pattern. They are not marked on the 1839 Little Plumstead tithe map and it is likely that they are a continuation of the field system cropmarks present further to the southwest (NHER 45123).

Cropmarks of rectilinear field boundaries of medieval to early post medieval date are visible on aerial photographs (S1). These cropmarks are centred on TG 3047 1154 to the north of Manor Farm at Little Plumstead. Rectilinear field boundaries are present on a similar alignment to the modern field pattern. They are not marked on the 1839 Little Plumstead tithe map (S2) or later maps. It is likely that they are mainly of medieval to early post medieval date and represent a continuation of the field system cropmarks present further to the southwest (NHER 45123). Undated linear ditch cropmarks on alignments different to the field system are also present within this group.
