Full Description
May 2010. Norfolk NMP.
The earthworks of a series of boundary banks and ditches of probable medieval to post medieval date are visible on aerial photographs to the north of the Upgate House, Swannington (S1). The site is centred on TG 1432 1786. One of the boundaries is depicted on the Ordnance Survey first edition map (1889 to 1891) (S2), but the remainder of the boundary banks and ditches are not marked on, indicating that they have gone out of use by this date. It seems likely that these boundaries relate to medieval to post medieval date land and property boundaries associated with the village of Upgate to the immediate north.
