March 2009. Norfolk NMP.
Earthworks, soilmarks and cropmarks relating to the former medieval settlement at Kenningham were visible on aerial photographs, for example (S6-S8). These features were not included within the area mapped as they largely fell outside of the map sheet TG20SW and the current Norwich and environs project area. The area of the site was however extended to the north to include the area of features noted.
