Full Description
May 2012. Norfolk NMP.
Several earthwork ditches are visible on aerial photographs (S1-S2) on land to the east of Morley Hall, Wymondham. The site is centred on TM 0808 9859.
It is possible that these ditches represent garden features or drainage ditches associated with Morley Hall. The latest available photograph shows one of the ditches remaining as a soilmark (S3). At least one of the ditches is visible on the tithe map, but it is possible that the large ditch running from TM 0787 9879 to TM 0797 9860 represents the western edge boundary of ‘Morley Bottom’(S4). It is possible that this is a continuation of common edge enclosure visible to the north (NHER 34252).
