May 2012. Norfolk NMP.
Probable post medieval drainage earthworks and a possible medieval hollow way are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs (S1-S4) on land surrounding Morley Old Hall, Morley.
The site is centred on TM 0563 9844, and consists of linear earthworks to the west of Morley Old Hall, which are likely to be drainage related, but have been mapped due to their proximity to the moated site (NHER 9118), and the fact that they are within the possible deer park (NHER 9135).
In the field to the east of Morley Old Hall, a possible hollow way is visible as an earthwork, running towards a pond (S3), suggesting that this feature may also in fact be drainage related. In the north of this field a possible ring ditch has also been recorded (NHER 54744).
