Full Description
May 2009. Norfolk NMP.
Cropmarks of two undated possible field boundary ditches were visible on aerial photographs (S1), centred on TG 2961 1011. The ditches run parallel for approximately 15m, on a northwest-southeast alignment, approximately 8m apart, before they diverge, to create the corners of two possible enclosures or separate fields, with a possible trackway running between them. Their alignment does not correspond with the historic maps of the area, rather it is similar to the possible Iron Age to Roman enclosure 355m to the north (NHER 51946) and late prehistoric to Roman field boundaries identified approximately 450m to the south east (NHER 49553), and the features may therefore date to this period. They appear to be overlain by medieval to post medieval enclosures (NHER 51954).
