NHER 45198 (Monument record) - Cropmarks of undated field boundaries

October 2006. Norfolk NMP.
The cropmarks of a group of undated linear ditches or field boundaries are visible on aerial photographs to the west of Whitehouse Farm Cottage, Hopton on Sea (S1-S2). The site is centred on TG 5167 0004, although this point does not correspond to an archaeological feature on the ground. These cropmarks are located within an area of complex multi-period cropmarks, see NHER 17475 for discussion.

These ditches are aligned roughly NE-SW or NW-SE and appear to suggest an additional phase of ditches to those recorded under NHER 43559, which are undated pre-post medieval, and 45159, which are post medieval. Although given the location in the valley some of these linears could be drainage ditches.
