Full Description
Formerly recorded under NHER 17289.
30 July 1977. NAU air photography.
Cropmarks of enclosures (and gas pipeline trench) visible on (S1).
D. Edwards (NAU), 17 March 1981.
February 2022. Aylsham and Brampton Aerial Investigation and Mapping (AIM) Project.
The cropmarks of a series of possible multiphase overlapping enclosures, boundaries, possible field boundaries and possible trackways (see above) are seen as cropmarks on aerial photographs (S1-S2). The feature most likely date to the Iron Age to Roman period; however, it’s possible some of the features may be later, possibly medieval to post medieval, in date. A dense area of geological cropmarks is seen across the area and its possible that some of the features may be natural in origin.
