May 2010. Norfolk NMP.
At least two linear ditches are visible as grassmarks on aerial photographs (S1) centred on TG 2165 1519, on land to the north of Church Street and to the east of St Faith’s Priory, Horsham St Faith and Newton St Faith.
Their proximity to St Faith’s Priory may suggest that they relate to land division associated with this institution, and they have therefore been assigned a medieval to post medieval date.
It is also possible that they relate to drainage ditch features of the same period.
