Full Description
Norfolk NMP, September 2003.
An earthwork bank is clearly visible on RAF aerial photographs from 1946 (S1) and 1955 (S2). It can also be seen on Cambridge University Collection of Aerial Photography images from 1955 (S3). This bank is approximately 290m in length, running from NGR TG1620 4102 to TG1645 4115 (centre TG1631 4111). It seems likely that this is both a boundary bank (or wood bank) to the wooded area to the west (see also NHER 9872) and also marking the line of a road, which can be seen on Bryant’s 1826 map of Norfolk (S4). This suggests that it would date to at least the post medieval period.
This feature is no longer visible on later aerial photographs. It has clearly been ploughed out by the time the 1968 Ordnance Survey aerial photographs (S5) were taken.
