NHER 64415 (Cropmark and Earthwork record) - Site of a probable post-medieval barn

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

The site of a probable former post-medieval barn can be seen as cropmarks on aerial photographs. The site consists of a ditched rectangular feature and multiple thin linear ditches. These features most likely relate to the remains of a former barn and associated features mapped on the First Edition Ordnance Survey map. The barn can be seen as a structure on the 1940s aerial photographs and has been removed by the 1980s. The cropmarks of the barn can be seen well on the 2006 Google Earth imagery.
