Summary

The cropmarks of a trackway and former field boundaries of either Roman or medieval to post medieval date are visible on aerial photographs. The site consists of former field boundaries and a trackway which would appear to pre-date the boundaries on the 1840 Caistor St Edmund Tithe map. It is possible that this trackway represents a continuation of another track recorded to the west (NHER 52156), immediately adjacent to the Roman Pye Road (NHER 7947) and this route along with associated boundaries have been recorded as representing either Roman or medieval to post medieval date features.
