NHER 49502 (Cropmark and Earthwork record) - Cropmarks of possible prehistoric to Roman field boundaries

May 2007. Norfolk NMP.
This cropmark site consists of former field boundaries of unknown, but possibly late prehistoric to Roman date, visible on aerial photographs to the south of Cedar Farm, Upton with Fishley (S1-S3). The site is centred on TG 3896 1177. Roman to Saxon date finds have been found in the general vicinity of these cropmarks (NHER 35995, 31354 and 49901).
The site consists of a dispersed group of ditches, the majority of which are aligned northwest to southeast or northeast to southwest, and are likely to represent former field boundaries, and where double ditched, trackways. These features are located within the vicinity of several large areas of enclosures and fields (such as NHER 11858, 49469), following a similar alignment and these are associated with Roman material. The cropmarks recorded under this number are likely to represent more than one phase, potentially spanning the late prehistoric to Roman periods, although some of the ditches may be later.
