Full Description
March 2009. Norfolk NMP.
The parchmarks and soilmarks of a possible road of either Roman or medieval to post medieval date, are visible on aerial photographs alongside a probable Roman road (NHER 53347) and to the south Stoke Holy Cross Roman villa (NHER 9732). The site, which is centred on TG 2464 0149, consists of a sinuous road or compacted track that leads off from the main road to the east. It is possible that this minor route is also Roman in date and may be associated with the villa to the north (NHER 9732). Although the fact that it appears to circumnavigate the edge of the plantation, which is likely to be a medieval to post medieval feature at the earliest, could suggest that this represents a track of historic date leading off the road which is stayed in use in the post-Roman period.
