Full Description
November 2008. Norfolk NMP.
An undated linear feature is visible as a cropmark on aerial photographs (S1), centred at TG 2890 1225. This northwest-southeast linear ditch may relate to medieval to post medieval land division, and appears to be on the same alignment as a linear feature 280m to the east (NHER 51930).
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 both relate to an earlier phase of land division, perhaps of Iron Age to Roman date.
E. Bales (NMP), November 2008.
