NHER 57442 (Monument record) - Possible Medieval to post medieval earthworks, possible enclosures and drainage ditches

The Norfolk Heritage Explorer is a filtered version of the Norfolk HER intended for casual research. Please contact us to consult the full record.

Summary

Possible Medieval to post medieval earthworks, possible enclosures and drainage ditches are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs to the south of Common Farm, Roudham. The site consists of several earthwork ditches which appear to make up possible enclosures and field boundaries. However, the site is partly depicted as drainage on the 2nd edition Ordnance Survey map and therefore it is likely that the majority of features represent post medieval drainage ditches, in a similar way to those mapped to the north of Common Farm (NHER 57437).
