Full Description
April 2011. Norfolk NMP.
Several fragmentary linear ditches are visible on aerial photographs (S1-S7) to the north and west of Swardeston Common, Swardeston. They are part of a network of drainage ditches, most of which have clearly been excavated or re-excavated in modern times. The site of possible banked enclosures (NHER 29578) lies within this area of drainage, and may in fact relate to drainage features.
E. Bales (NMP), 15 April 2011.
