Full Description
February 2010. Norfolk NMP.
A series of undated linear ditches are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs (S1)-(S4), centred on TM 0099 8520.
The ditches measure up to 3.9m in width, although this may represent degradation of the features as they are visible as open earthworks.
It is probable that they relate to post medieval drainage ditches, as they appear to run into drainage features and ponds marked on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map (S5)
E. Bales (NMP), 10 February 2010.
