Full Description
June 2010. Norfolk NMP.
The earthworks of a probable post medieval woodland boundary are visible on aerial photographs within Four acre Plantation to the south of Easton (S1). The site is centred on TG 1306 1055. The site consists of a probable woodland boundary ditch enclosing a rectangular piece of plantation. However no sign of these earthworks can be detected on later aerial photographs, where the area of the wood has partially been cleared (S3), which could suggest that the apparent ditches visible in the 1940s were merely the remains of recently cleared paths through the wood and scrub. The northern section of this possible boundary may in part correspond to the division of the plantation marked on the Ordnance Survey first edition map (1889 to 1891) (S4).
