Full Description
July 2012. Norfolk NMP.
A curvilinear ditch feature which may have formed a medieval edge to the carr at Quidenham (S7), is visible as an earthwork on aerial photographs (S1-S6). The curvilinear ditch is visible to the north and south, and partially to the east, of a large carr feature, although it is difficult to be certain whether the fragments of ditch were in fact ever one discreet feature, or whether the ditches were all simply post-medieval drains.
E. Bales (NMP), 04 July 2012.
