Full Description

June 2007. Norfolk NMP.
A group of linear and curvilinear ditches, of unknown date and function, is visible as cropmarks on aerial photographs (S1)-(S3), centred at TG 3415 2238. Their orientation is at odds with the modern field pattern, which suggests that they pre-date the enclosures of the post medieval period. They may represent field boundaries or similar features. It should be noted that the archaeological origin of many of the features is uncertain.
S. Tremlett (NMP), 7 June 2007.
