NHER 53602 (Cropmark and Earthwork record) - Site of undated rectilinear boundaries

May 2010. Norfolk NMP.
A pattern of rectilinear ditches is visible as cropmarks on aerial photographs (S1)-(S5), centred at 1264 0545. They are of uncertain date and function. They probably represent field boundaries, of pre-Inclosure date, as their alignment is completely at odds with that of the modern field pattern. They could be contemporary with ditches following a similar alignment, apparent at other sites such as NHER 53489 approximately 540m to the northwest. At the same time, a considerable number of cropmarks of geological and recent agricultural origin are also visible in this area, and the archaeological significance of the mapped features is not entirely certain.
