NHER 53677 (Monument record) - Cropmark of undated field boundaries and ditches

The Norfolk Heritage Explorer is a filtered version of the Norfolk HER intended for casual research. Please contact us to consult the full record.

Summary

The cropmarks of undated ditches and probable former field boundaries are visible on aerial photographs within Taverham Hall Park. It is possible that these ditches formed part of a field system, the date of which is unknown. Finds within the area include Neolithic through to Saxon date material, with nearly all periods represented (NHER 18266, 19754-6 & 20012) and therefore cannot help to date the cropmarks any more closely. Possible additional cropmarks, including a number of circular ring ditch-like marks, visible within this area on were omitted from the mapping due to the likelihood that they represented geological and agricultural features.
