NHER 52148 (Cropmark and Earthwork record) - Cropmarks of fragmentary boundary ditches, field boundaries and possible trackways of possible late Iron Age to Roman date

March 2009. Norfolk NMP.
The cropmarks of fragmentary undated ditches, which are likely to represent former field boundaries and trackways of unknown date, but possibly Iron Age to Roman date, are visible on aerial photographs to the south of the Harford Park and Ride site (S1-S5). The site, which is centred on TG 2205 0369, consists of a series of fragmentary ditches and former field boundaries, which are likely to represent more than one phase of boundaries. The similarity in alignment with the fields recorded to the north with in the Harford Park and Ride site (NHER 52145) would suggest that at least some of these boundaries are broadly contemporary with those to the north. Only a small part of NHER 52145 was recorded during the excavations and a Roman date was preferred, although a broader Iron Age to Roman date is possible – see NHER 52145 for details. Finds relating to a Late Bronze Age or Early Iron Age flint working site (NHER 40406) have been found to the immediate west of the cropmarks and Iron Age to Roman date finds (NHER 9743, 24795 & 39304) have been found within the wider vicinity of the site.
