May 2012. Norfolk NMP.
The curving field boundaries described above are clearly visible on the aerial photographs consulted (S1-S3), and earthworks have been recorded to the east, within the grounds of Morley Old Hall (NHER 54743). However, there was no direct evidence for the park pale itself visible on the aerial photographs.
