Full Description

January 2016. 'Brecks from Above' and Breckland National Mapping Programme.
Cropmarks of unknown date are visible on the aerial photographs from 1946 ((S1) and (S2)).
The site consists of fragmentary boundary ditches and probable former field boundaries and/or rectilinear enclosures, representing activity of more than one phase. The field exhibits numerous agricultural and geological cropmarks and it is feasible that some of the ditches mapped are also of non-archaeological origin and conversely that additional archaeological features were misidentified and not mapped.
S. Horlock (Norfolk Historic Environment Service), 24 January 2016.
