Summary

Cropmarks of a possible archaeological origin were identified on aerial photographs at this location, but were dismissed as most likely derived from underlying geological features. The area was excavated as part of a trial trench evaluation in 2011 and possible medieval and post medieval enclosures were recorded on the site. Prehistoric pot-boiler material and features and a possible Roman farmstead were also encountered, and have been recorded as NHER 58020.

December 2009. Norfolk NMP.
Cropmarks of a possible archaeological origin were identified on aerial photographs at this location, but were dismissed as most likely derived from underlying geological features (S1-S3). The site is centred on TG 2673 01454. However due to some uncertainty over this conclusion it may be worth recording their possible presence with regards to decisions over any future development of the site.
