Summary

Cropmarks of undated linear ditches are visible on aerial photographs. These cropmarks were previously recorded as part of NHER 11697. Two parallel ditches on a roughly northwest to southeast alignment have previously been interpreted as a trackway. It is likely that most of the ditches relate to field boundaries of unknown date.

August 2007. Norfolk NMP.
Cropmarks of undated linear ditches are visible on aerial photographs (S2-S3). These cropmarks were previously recorded as part of NHER 11697. A group of linear ditch cropmarks are present on a variety of different alignments. Two parallel ditches on a roughly northwest to southeast alignment have previously been interpreted as a trackway. It is likely that most of the ditches relate to field boundaries of unknown date. Cropmarks of known post medieval field boundaries were not mapped.
