Summary

An undated linear ditch is visible as a cropmark on aerial photographs on land to the west of Wroo Road, Attleborough. It is difficult to be certain of the function of this feature, but it seems most likely to represent a medieval to post medieval field boundary or drainage ditch. Since it is only visible on one photograph it has been recorded with a hint of caution.
