Earthworks of a ditch and bank forming the boundary of a medieval common are visible on aerial photographs (S4-S5). The central grid reference for these earthworks has been amended from TM 3785 9405 to TM 3780 9403. An earthwork of a 3.5m wide L-shaped ditch is visible on 1989 aerial photographs (S4). Earlier aerial photographs dating to 1945 (S5) show the ditch continuing intermittently to the west and a short section of bank earthwork on the same alignment. This ditch and bank partly forms the boundary to a small area of common land shown on Faden’s 1797 Map of Norfolk (S3) and is not a moat as it was initially thought to be.

Sections of bank and ditch associated with a former medieval common edge boundary, previously mapped by the NMP survey (see above) are visible as earthworks on visualised lidar from a survey flown in 2022 (S6). As the lidar survey was flown relatively recently, it is likely that the features still survive as earthworks. The sections of earthwork bank and ditch are centred at TM 3786 9399, TM 3781 9402 and TM 3777 9404
