Full Description
June 2006. Norfolk NMP.
A group of multiphase and undated linear ditch cropmarks are visible on aerial photographs to the north and south of Church Lane, Potter Heigham (S1) to (S5). The site is centred on TG 4160 2025 although this point does not correspond to an archaeological feature on the ground. The majority of these features are likely to be former field boundaries dating from the late prehistoric onwards. A number of more coherent groups of ditches have been identified within the larger spread and these have been recorded under NHER 43798-9 and NHER 44801-4. These have mainly been interpreted as Iron Age to Roman date field boundaries and trackways.
The ditches recorded under this site are quite fragmentary and do not form any coherent plan or groupings. Two main clusters of ditched features are located at TG 4148 2026 and TG 4158 2052.
