Summary

Part of a probable post medieval road is visible as earthworks, soilmarks and cropmarks on visualised lidar data and aerial photographs. The feature probably corresponds to the curvilinear road depicted in this area on Faden’s 1797 Map of Norfolk. As the lidar survey was flown relatively recently (2017) it is likely that the earthwork element of the site still survives.
