NHER 63081 (Monument record) - Possible enclosure, ring ditch, ditches of an unknown date.

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, ring ditch and ditches of an unknown date are seen as cropmarks on aerial photographs. A square enclosure can be seen in the centre of the area with a possible ring ditch to the west and a number of ditches on multiple alignments in close proximity. The features are in close relation to an area of medieval settlement remains (NHER 63236) to the south; however these features are more likely to be Bronze Age – Roman in date. The possible enclosure and ditches are partially obscured by geological and agricultural features and may extend further than the mapped extent.
