February 2010. Norfolk NMP.
An earthwork ditch is visible on aerial photographs (S1), which may represent post medieval drainage of the area.
The ditch measures approximately 180m in length, and runs from TM 0069 9085 to TM 0085 9077, with a change of direction at TM 0071 9085. It is likely to represent a drainage feature.
