Full Description
August 2011. Walkover Survey.
Rapid earthwork identification survey.
A trackway measuring 4m wide with scarps up to 0.5m high producing a slight hollow way which could suggest that the site might be associated with Warren Lodge (NHER 2760) and may date from the medieval period. An offshoot pathway to the west is of a similar form to the north-south section as does a short length extending north-east to the road.
See report (S1) for further details.

February 2017. 'Brecks from Above' and Breckland National Mapping Programme.
The trackway described above is visible as a modern track and occasional earthworks on aerial photographs such as (S2) and imagery from a lidar survey flown in 2015 (S3); this portion has been mapped by extent. It has also been mapped as an earthwork ditch continuing some 300m to the north. This latter section is shown on the Ordnance Survey First Edition 6-inch map (S4), but appears to have gone out of use by 1946 (S2). The trackway forms just one element of a much more extensive area of trackways and boundaries (NHER 61542) evident on the aerial photographs and lidar in the area surrounding Thetford Warren Lodge (NHER 2760). The mapped extent of the trackway has been significantly extended to include the additional earthworks identified in this survey [1].
