Full Description
March 2009. Norfolk NMP.
The cropmarks of several fragmentary phases of field boundaries and ditches of unknown, but potentially later prehistoric date, are visible on aerial photographs to the north of Caistor Lane, Caistor St Edmund (S1)-(S11). The site is centred on TG 2417 0415. Prehistoric, Iron Age, Roman and Saxon date material have been found within the general vicinity of these cropmarks (NHER 9787, 9815 & 28200). See NHER 9787 and 52252 for discussion of cropmarks relating to Roman settlement and the Caistor Roman temple site. The cropmarks grouped under this number represent fragmentary ditched boundaries and enclosures assumed to represent the remains of former field boundaries of more than one phase. The greatest concentration of features is centred on TG 2401 0414.
