Summary

A linear ditch of unknown date is visible as a cropmark on an aerial photograph. It may represent a former field boundary, drainage ditch, trackway or similar type of feature. Other linear and curvilinear cropmarks are visible in the vicinity, but only a possible ring ditch to the southeast (NHER 49421) is in any way convincing as an archaeological feature.

May 2007. Norfolk NMP.
A linear ditch is visible as a cropmark on an aerial photographs (S1), between TG 3203 2420 and TG 3223 2426. It is undated and a variety of interpretations are possible (field boundary, drainage ditch, trackway, etc.). Numerous other cropmarks are visible to the north on the same aerial photograph (and others), but none could be identified that were of clear archaeological significance; most seem to represent recently removed field boundaries, agricultural activity, drains and geological features. They have not been mapped by the NMP.
