Full Description
July 2007. Norfolk NMP
Cropmarks of field boundaries and enclosures of Iron Age to Roman date are visible on aerial photographs (S1-S2). These cropmarks are centred on TG 4259 0514 and were previously partly recorded as NHER 11684 and 17772. Cropmarks of roughly north-west to south-east aligned field boundaries are present. These form a continuation of an Iron Age to Roman field system to the west (NHER 49400 and 21271). Two double-ditched ‘long boundaries’ or trackways are present in the southern part of the group spaced 90m apart. The southernmost of these cuts across a group of rectilinear enclosures at TG 4255 0500. The enclosures possibly relate to an Iron Age to Roman farmstead belonging to a different phase of activity to the field system.
