Full Description
July 2012. Norfolk NMP.
The former earthworks of medieval to early post medieval common-edge settlement enclosures are on aerial photographs alongside Bow Street, Great Ellingham (S1-S2). The site is centred on TM 0123 9796. The main focus of the site is a group of well-defined rectangular ditched enclosures at TM 0128 9806, which border the edge of the former Great Ellingham Common, as depicted on the 1797 Faden map (S3), although no habitations exist at this location at that date.
S. Horlock (NMP), 24 July 2012.
