NHER 52385 (Cropmark and Earthwork record) - Cropmarks of undated possible curvilinear ditches or trackway

October 2009. Norfolk NMP.
Two curvilinear ditches or possible trackway are visible as cropmarks on aerial photographs (S1), on land to the south of Reepham Road, Taverham, centred on TG 1715 1553. These features are fragmentary, and only visible on one set of photographs, and it is possible that they represent geological rather than archaeological features, and have thus been recorded with a note of caution.
The total length of the combined features is approximately 55m, and is made up of a 26m ditch up to 1.8m in width, which overlaps for a time with a 18m ditch, up to 1.9m in width. Fragments of both of these ditches appear to be visible to the northwest, although these may be elongated pit featues, or possibly geological marks.
