NHER 52245 (Cropmark and Earthwork record) - Cropmarks of possible structures adjacent to Roman road

March 2009. Norfolk NMP.
The parchmarks of possible structural remains adjacent to a probable Roman road (NHER 52244) are visible on aerial photographs to the south of Caistor Lane, Caistor St Edmund (S1). The site is centred on TG 2408 0338. The A circular parchmark, 9m in diameter, to the immediate south of the probable road may represent the remains of former mound/building platform or actual structure. A series of six small parchmarks forming two parallel rows could also feasible relate to a building. Given the proximity of these features to the probable Roman road, a Roman date could be suggested, although the possibility that these parchmarks relate to post medieval or even relatively recent agricultural practises must be also raised.
