Full Description
November 2012. Norfolk NMP.
Faint curvilinear ditches are visible as cropmarks on aerial photographs (S1) on land to the east of Eccles Road, Quidenham.
The site is centred on TM 0212 9023, and consists of three or more curvilinear ditches, which are very faint and ephemeral in appearance and have been recorded with a hint of caution. Field walking from approximately 200m to the northwest recovered prehistoric worked flint, and it is possible therefore that these ditches represent prehistoric activity in the area, but it is very difficult to be certain of this, especially since the cropmarks are only visible on one set of photographs.
E. Ford (NMP), 29 November 2012.
