Summary

The cropmarks of a group of undated and fragmentary field boundaries are visible on aerial photographs to the east of Belton Fen in Belton with Browston. It is possible that these cropmarks form part of a wider area of field boundaries and enclosures recorded to the east (NHER 45215), which are thought to be Iron Age to Roman in date.

Full Description

May 2008. Norfolk NMP.
The cropmarks of a group of undated and fragmentary field boundaries are visible on aerial photographs to the east of Belton Fen in Belton with Browston (S1-S3). It is possible that these cropmarks form part of a wider area of field boundaries and enclosures recorded to the east (NHER 45215), which are thought to be Iron Age to Roman in date.

A number of these linear cropmarks appear to represent double ditched arrangements, such as TG 5022 0332, and are therefore likely to represent sections of trackways
