Full Description
May 2007. Norfolk NMP
Cropmarks of a possible trackway and field boundaries of unknown date are visible on aerial photographs (S1-S3). These cropmarks are centred on TG 4136 0656 and were previously recorded as part of NHER 11682. Two parallel linear ditch cropmarks are present on a west to east alignment. They are spaced approximately 4m apart and have previously been interpreted as a possible trackway. However, it is also possible that they simple represent a double-ditched field boundary. A linear ditch, probably also a field boundary, extends northward from the southernmost of the double ditches. It cuts across the northern ditch, possibly supporting its interpretation as a field boundary rather than a trackway. The alignment of these cropmarks does not correspond to that of the modern field pattern or that of a cropmark field system which they overlap (NHER 49394) and they are of unknown date.
