Full Description

December 2007. Norfolk NMP.
The earthworks of a short section of bank and ditch of probable medieval to post medieval date are visible on aerial photographs to the southwest of Rectory Road, Lyng (S1). The site is centred on TG 0706 1758. The bank and ditch are likely to be a former continuation of the boundary that ran to the immediate east of the earthwork. The location of these features is obscured by tree cover on the most recent photography available (1988 (S2)) and therefore it is not possible to discern whether these earthworks still survive, although it remains a strong possibility.
S. Massey (NMP), 19 December 2007.
