NHER 53522 (Monument record) - Site of possible enclosures of Iron Age to Roman date

The Norfolk Heritage Explorer is a filtered version of the Norfolk HER intended for casual research. Please contact us to consult the full record.

Summary

The possible site of one or more enclosures, perhaps of Iron Age to Roman period date, is visible as fragmentary cropmarks on aerial photographs. Although fragmentary, the features share their orientation and character with a larger enclosure complex 155m to their east (NHER 53521). This latter is of postulated Iron Age to Roman date and perhaps represents settlement; the possible enclosure fragments described here are likely to be contemporary, although their function remains unclear.

Full Description

April 2010. Norfolk NMP.
One or more enclosures, of possible Iron Age to Roman period date, may be visible as cropmarks on aerial photographs (S1), centred at TG 1253 0863. Only visible on one set of aerial photographs, and rather unclear and fragmentary, the archaeological origin of the mapped features is not certain. However, in character and orientation they are similar to the larger enclosure complex 155m to their east (NHER 53521). This latter is of postulated Iron Age to Roman date and perhaps represents settlement; the possible enclosure fragments described here are likely to be contemporary, although their function remains unclear
S. Tremlett (NMP), 27 April 2010.
