NHER 52167 (Cropmark and Earthwork record) - Cropmarks of fragmentary enclosures, boundaries and a trackway of possible Iron Age to Roman date

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 fragmentary enclosures, boundaries and a trackway of unknown, but possible Iron Age to Roman date, are visible on aerial photographs. The site consists of dispersed and fragmentary ditches and former field boundaries. A relatively broad L-shaped ditch could represent the partially visible remains of a rectilinear enclosure. A double ditch segment to the north of this possible enclosure is likely to represent the remains of a trackway.
