Summary

Cropmarks of rectilinear enclosures and field boundaries possibly relating to a medieval to post medieval farmstead are visible on aerial photographs. They appear to be on the same northwest-southeast alignment as the probable farmstead shown on Faden's 1797 Map of Norfolk (NHER45126) 700m to the northwest and as suchhave been tentatively dated to the medieval to post medieval period.

Full Description

August 2009. Norfolk NMP.
Cropmarks of possible rectilinear enclosures and field boundaries possibly relating to a medieval to post medieval farmstead are visible on aerial photographs (S1)-(S2), centred at TG 3043 1008. They appear to be on the same northwest-southeast alignment as the probable farmstead shown on Faden's 1797 Map of Norfolk (NHER45126) 700m to the northwest and as such have been tentatively dated to the medieval to post medieval period. The cropmarks were visible within an area where the underlying geology was prominent, and the smallest of the possible enclosures (measuring 8m by at least 4m), centred on TG 3040 1009, may in fact be geological rather than archaeological in nature.
E. Bales (NMP), 21 August 2009.
