NHER 52172 (Cropmark and Earthwork record) - Cropmarks of a possible pit or structure of uncertain date

March 2009. Norfolk NMP.
The cropmarks of an oblong pit and bank or possibly even a structure may be visible on aerial photographs are visible on aerial photographs alongside a section of the Roman Pye Road (NHER 52170) within the former area of Dunston Park (S1-S2). The site is centred on TG 2225 0136. The site consists of an oblong pit with a possible parched area to the immediate north. Although it must be noted that the site is located within an area of geological cropmarks which may be the cause of the parching. While it is probable that this feature merely relates to a pit, potentially dug for agricultural purposes, alternatively interpretations must be considered given its proximity to the Roman Road and other possible Roman structures (NHER 9756). It is feasible that the marks also relate to a former structure and/or floor surface, although this is uncertain.
