Full Description
May 2007. Norfolk NMP.
This site consists of a group of undated and possibly multiphase cropmarks to the south of Wood Farm, Hemblington (S1-S2). The site is centred on TG 3505 1179. The date of many of these field boundaries is uncertain. The alignment of a number of the ditches, NW-SE, is consistent with the pattern of fragmentary field systems recorded in this area (NHER 18127, 49426-28, 49431) that are of possible late prehistoric to Roman date. Although it is equally possible that they are the remains of tracks and boundaries leading towards the farm, no corresponding features are marked on the Tithe map. The archaeological significance of the oblong pit, 14m by 6m, at TG 3498 1180 is unknown. It may be a relatively recent agricultural feature, but it may be older and relate to a former sunken structure.
