Full Description
March 2009. Norfolk NMP.
The cropmarks of fragmentary boundaries and trackway of unknown, but possible Iron Age date, are visible on aerial photographs (S1-S3). The site, which is centred on TG 2244 0123, consists of a possible trackway and associated boundaries. These features do not show any obvious relationship with Roman Pye road to the west (NHER 7947 and 52170) and possible associated boundaries and trackways (NHER 52164), which could indicate a pre-Roman, potentially Iron Age date. It must be noted that a significant amount of geological cropmarks were present in this area, although it appeared that the intermittent trackway ran across them suggesting that it is an archaeological feature. Additional rectilinear marks were omitted from mapping due to the probability that they were geological in origin.
