Full Description
May 2010. Norfolk NMP.
A possible linear trackway is visible as a cropmark on aerial photographs (S1), to the north of Grange Farm, Spixworth.
The possible trackway consists of two parallel ditches, 12.9m apart, running southwest-northeast from TG 2357 1584 to TG 2373 1621.
The cropmark of the Spixworth/Horsham St Faith and Newton St Faith parish boundary is visible as a cropmark to the west.
A second possible trackway or road is visible on the same alignment, 824m to the southwest (NHER 53608), which may date to the medieval to post medieval period, but may be Roman in date, and it is therefore possible that this feature is also Roman in date.
E. Bales (NMP), May 2010.
This feature is probably represented by the ditch picked up in evaluation in advance of aggregates extraction (NHER 39675) which produced post medieval pottery and tile.
