Full Description

May 2010. Norfolk NMP.

They are situated on the floodplain of the River Yare. Their function, like their date, is not known, and their archaeological significance is uncertain. The linear bank fits the surrounding pattern of enclosure and drainage, and may be a post medieval land division.
