Full Description
November 2018. Breckland National Mapping Programme.
The site of ditches and possible banks of unknown or possibly medieval date are seen as earthworks on aerial photographs (S1-S3). The earthworks have since been levelled and some of the ditches can be seen as cropmarks. The earthworks may have been part of features relating to settlement such as enclosures and drainage. Some of the ditches may also relate to modern drainage. There are also two areas of possible ridge and furrow (NHER 62495 and NHER 62496) to the north, which may relate to these features and further suggest a possible Medieval to post-medieval date.
J.Powell (Norfolk Historic Environment Service), 9 November 2018.
