Full Description
May 2007. Norfolk NMP.
This cropmark site consists of small group of enclosures and former field boundaries of unknown date, visible on aerial photographs to the east of the Fishley Corner Cottages (S1-S2). The site is centred on TG 3954 1116.
A small amount of Roman pottery (NHER 40860) found within the vicinity of cropmarks could indicate a Roman date for the site cropmarks, although it is possible that they reveal medieval to early post medieval date enclosures alongside the South Walsham Road. The cropmarks show no obvious relationship with any of the boundaries marked on the 1839 Upton Tithe map (S3).
A possible enclosure measuring approximately 83m by 70m is visible to the east of the site, with a series of elongated enclosed areas to the west, approximately 130m by 30m.
S. Massey (NMP), 29 May 2007.
