Map

November 2006. Norfolk NMP.
A cropmark of a rectilinear enclosure of unknown date is visible on aerial photographs (S1). This cropmark is centred on TG 3106 1561. The enclosure has a trapezoidal plan with rounded corners and is defined by a 2m wide ditch. Internally it measures 34m by up to 39m. The northeast corner of the enclosure is not visible as a cropmark and there is a 5m wide gap in the ditch on the northwest side. It is possible that this smaller gap is an entrance. The simple form of this enclosure makes it difficult to date. Undated cropmarks of linear and curvilinear ditches are present on ether side of the enclosure (NHER 45299).
