September 2007. Norfolk NMP.
The Roman farmstead or villa cropmarks previously recorded under this number are now grouped under NHER 50602. The ring ditches previously identified on the aerial photographs listed were not mapped as part of the NMP assessment, as they were of a dubious archaeological nature and appeared to be of potential geological origin. However a possible ring ditch or circular structure was tentatively identified within this vicinity, see NHER 50603.
