Full Description
May 2012. Norfolk NMP.
Linear ditches and banks are visible as soilmarks on aerial photographs (S1) on land to the west of Oaks Farm, Besthorpe. The site is centred on TM 0909 9508. The ditches appear to line up with field boundaries and drainage ditches on historic maps, and they are therefore likely to have performed a drainage function.
