NHER 49567 (Cropmark and Earthwork record) - Earthworks of probable post medieval date

June 2007. Norfolk NMP.
The earthworks of linear bank and a circular embankment are visible on aerial photographs to the south of the drainage ditch that runs east to Braydeston Hall, Brundall (S1). The site is centred on TG 3373 0904.
The linear bank is oblong in shape, measures 46m by 6m and is surrounded by a narrow ditch. To the immediate west is a possible low circular embankment, 12m in diameter and up to 2m wide, again surrounded by a ditch. Although the earthworks are quite ephemeral and it is hard to identify the earthworks with any certainty. Both of these features would appear to be built over a drainage ditch, marked on the 1845 Tithe map (S2), indicating that they must be late nineteenth to early twentieth century in date. It is possible that they relate to a military site of World War Two date, however there is no evidence visible on the aerial photographs.
