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

A possible enclosure and ditches of unknown date are seen as cropmarks on aerial photographs. The possible enclosure is roughly square with a small ditch extending north from the enclosures western ditch. There is also a large ditch aligned approximately north-south before heading east-west. These features are similar to other enclosures mapped across the area and may be Bronze Age-Roman in date. It is possible the enclosure and ditches are natural in origin as the features are in close proximity to an area of geological cropmarks.
