Map

16 June 1972. Ordnance Survey aerial photography.
Positive cropmarks.
Two linear features.
Compiled by D. Voisey (NLA), 15 September 1995.

September 2025. Northwest Norfolk Aerial Investigation and Mapping (AI&M) Project.
The undated linear ditch cropmarks described above are only visible on one of the consulted sources (S1). They lead to the field corner and rather than being of archaeological significance they appear more likely to be of recent agricultural origin. They may represent a single looped feature such as a vehicle track. They were not mapped by the project.
