Site 3:
Boundary bank located on the eastern boundary of Heath House Woods, flanking the B1149, consisting of a 2m spread bank up to 0.8m high, with an internal flanking ditch. The road line can be seen on Faden's Map of Norfolk (1797), Holt Enclosure award Map (1810), Bryant's Map of Norfolk (1826), Ordnance Survey 1st Edition 6inch map (1891), and the modern Ordnance Survey 1:10000 map, thus the boundary would appear to be at least 200 years old.
