Full Description
March 2009. Norfolk NMP.
The cropmarks of fragmentary enclosures and field boundaries of unknown, but possible Iron Age to Roman date, are visible on aerial photographs (S1-S2). The site is centred on TG 2231 0157. Some of these features are broadly parallel with the Roman Pye road (NHER 7947 and 52170) and may also be of Roman date. Excavations to the north of these cropmarks revealed ditches of Iron Age, Roman and Early Saxon date (NHER 31821).
