NHER 68005 (Cropmark and Earthwork record) - Cropmarks of undated ditch

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

An undated ditch is visible as a cropmark on aerial photographs. It may be a relatively early, perhaps pre-medieval, boundary ditch, such as a field boundary. At the same time, the possibility that it is a modern feature associated with the agricultural buildings at its southeastern end cannot be ruled out.
