D. Edwards (NLA).
May 2005. Field Observation.
There is an obvious hollow at this approximate location, suggesting that the cropmark might be an old pit.
D. Gurney (NLA), 2 May 2005.
November 2007. Norfolk NMP.
This site was not mapped as part of the NMP as it was felt to be the remains of a pit as suggested above.
S. Massey (NMP), 09 November 2007.
October 2025. HER Enhancement: Forestry Commission Project K.
The earthworks of a pit (see above), possibly relating to a former post medieval extraction pit or a natural feature, are visible on visualised lidar data (S2) from a survey flown in 2021. As the lidar survey was flown relatively recently, it is likely that the feature still survives a low earthwork.
