Full Description
March 2009. Norfolk NMP.
Cropmarks of ditches, possibly forming part of a small enclosure, at least 33m across, of probable Roman date, are visible on aerial photographs (S1) to the north of the Roman road (NHER 30288) leading to the Roman town of Venta Icenorum (NHER 9786). The site is centred on TG 2398 0315. These ditches follow a broadly similar alignment to the Roman road and it seems likely that these are broadly contemporary, but form part of a separate phase to NHER 52241 to the immediate west.
S. Horlock (NMP), 23 March 2009.
