Full Description
December 2021. Broads Hidden Heritage: Aerial Perspectives.
Two pits, of unknown date and function, are visible as cropmarks on aerial photographs (S1). Their size and irregular shape means that an interpretation of the features as tree pits is feasible. They lie within the extent of both Acle Wood (NHER 12202) and (possibly) a medieval deer park (NHER 55841), and could be associated with either or both of these former landscapes. A line of extant trees 30m to their east marks a former field boundary, but the pits lie slightly too far to the south to be part of this same boundary.
S. Tremlett (Norfolk County Council, Historic Environment Service), 6 December 2021.
