NHER 45246 (Monument record) - Site of possible bank or trackway of unknown date south of Crostwight Common

March 2007. Norfolk NMP.
A possible bank or trackway of unknown date is visible as a faint crop- or vegetation mark, and perhaps as a slight earthwork, on aerial photographs taken in 1955 (S1), between TG 3338 2882 and TG 3307 2864. Its archaeological origin is uncertain – it might simply mark a modern farm track – but if it is an ‘ancient’ feature, a medieval to post medieval date seems plausible. It may have been associated with the area now named ‘The Common’ on modern Ordnance Survey maps, which lies at its northeast end. This has been occupied by buildings since at least the 1840s; some are shown here on Honing Tithe Map (S2). The fact that the southern end of the feature is apparently cut by the trackway to its south may also be significant.
