Full Description
November 2006. Norfolk NMP.
A cropmark of a curvilinear enclosure of possible prehistoric date is visible on aerial photographs (S1). This negative cropmark is located at TG 3074 1600. The enclosure has a sub-oval plan with an open southern side. It measures 71m by 51m internally. The cropmark suggests that the enclosure is defined by a 2.5m wide bank, but it is possible that it is actually a ditch. The curvilinear form of the enclosure may indicate that it is of late prehistoric origin, but its exact date and function are unclear.
