NHER 45014 (Cropmark and Earthwork record) - Earthworks and cropmarks of medieval to post medieval fields

October 2006. Norfolk NMP
Earthworks and cropmarks of field boundaries and ditches of medieval to post medieval date are visible on aerial photographs (S1-S3). These earthworks are centred on TM 3766 9275. A group of rectilinear fields are present alongside a curvilinear watercourse that extends on a roughly northwest to southeast alignment. At the western end of the group are long narrow fields that measure 18m wide by up to 118m long. It is possible that these are medieval strip fields. Arranged perpendicular to the watercourse further to the southeast are a series of ditch earthworks that define small rectilinear fields. These fields range in size from 33m by 41m to 38m by 78m internally. The southeastern part of the watercourse is also present as a curvilinear earthwork. It is likely that these earthworks relate to small pasture fields on the edge of the floodplain of the River Waveney. They are likely to be of medieval to early post medieval date.

Google Earth imagery suggests these features have been ploughed level.

The low earthworks and cropmarks of likely medieval to post medieval field boundaries and enclosures are visible on visualised lidar data (S6) and aerial photographs (S4-S5). The features most likely form part of a medieval field system and potential associated settlement. The majority of the earthworks have been levelled. However, some of the features mapped by the previous NMP survey (see above) are still visible as very low earthworks on visualised lidar data form a survey flown in 2022 (S6). The cropmark features are visible on multiple years of aerial photographs but are seen particularly well on aerial photographs from 2006 (S4) and 2022 (S5). Additional cropmark boundaries and enclosures, which were not previously mapped by the NMP survey, are also visible on S5 and S6. The cropmarks of a site of a potential building are also visible on S4, centred at approximately TM 3769 9280. Equally, it is possible that this feature may relate to a small enclosure.
