NHER 51930 (Cropmark and Earthwork record) - Site of undated linear ditch features visible as cropmarks

November 2008. Norfolk NMP.
Undated linear and curvilinear features are visible as cropmarks on aerial photographs (S1), centred at TG 2688 1348. The longest of these ditches measures approximately 260m in length and runs roughly northwest-southeast.

Perpendicular to the longest ditch, there are three ditches, two of which appear to be roughly parallel to each other, and may represent some form of trackway, being roughly 20m apart, the third possibly representing a re-cut or second phase of the feature. The linear ditches may relate to medieval to post medieval land division, and the northwest-southeast ditch appears to be on the same alignment as a linear feature 280m to the west (NHER 51931).

However, the features are not on the same alignment as other medieval to post medieval features in the area (eg NHER 50729), and do not appear to correspond with the field boundaries on the historic maps of the area, and therefore may relate to an earlier phase of land division, perhaps Iron Age to Roman in date.

The undated linear and curvilinear features (see above) are also faintly visible as cropmarks on S2.
