Cropmarks of a possible post mill are visible on aerial photographs (S2-S3). This cropmark is centred on TG 3340 0193. A sub-circular ring ditch cropmark with a ditch of up to 4.5m wide and an external diameter of 27m is present. Internally there is an irregular cross-shaped pit cropmark with an attached L-shaped pit. This feature suggests that this is a post mill. A windmill is marked at this approximate location on Faden’s 1797 map of Norfolk (S4). An undated linear ditch cropmark, probably a field boundary, is present on a west to east alignment to the southwest of the ring ditch, but was not mapped.
