NHER 3049 (Monument record) - Site of buildings and boundaries of possible medieval to post medieval date, and earthworks of probably modern ponds

Before 1948. Casual Find. Field Observation.
A number of glazed 13th century tiles were unearthed in a meadow near Lyng Old Mill House along with old bricks and a lot of mortared flints. Two of the tiles had yellow green on red decoration and others had geometrical designs. Traces of a moat and three fish ponds were observed outside. John de Norwich had permission to crenellate a house here in about 1220.

In fact the date of the licence is 1343 (S1), and the moat at site NHER 16744 would appear a better contender for the site (see that card). Note however that this site NHER 3049 is marked by Ordnance Survey (S4) as 'fishponds' but is nowhere near the Old Mill House, which is by site NHER 16744. It is possible that these finds in fact refer to site NHER 16744, and it was marked here by mistake because of the Ordnance Survey name.

Nephew of [1] (1948 informant) states that these finds and detail in fact refer to site NHER 12303.
The fishponds marked at NHER 3049 by Ordnance Survey are fairly modern. It appears that the location was confused in 1948.

A series of soilmarks are visible on the aerial photographs (S2) at this location and these all appear to relate to structures and boundaries marked on the 1810 Lyng Enclosure map (S3). These features had all been removed by the time of the Ordnance Survey first edition map (1879-1886) (S4). None of the features were mapped. The remains of medieval pottery and brick, tile and stone fragments recovered from the surface of the field (NMR – TG 01 NE 40) could indicate that this structure was medieval in date. The NMR record also confirms the existence of three fishponds to the north west of the site (situated 5m below the level of the site), although no definite date could be established. These ponds are not depicted on the Ordnance Survey first edition map (1879-1886) (S4) and are therefore likely to be relatively modern and were therefore not mapped. The NMR record states that they contain modern brick sluices, but also states that this could be an amendment to earlier ponds.
