Map

8 July 1996. NLA aerial photography (S1).
Faint cropmarks of an enclosure are visible.
Only three sides of it can be seen, as the west and east sides abutt the road at their south ends. The enclosure may well continue on the other side of the road, but this cannot be discerned in the crop growing there.
In shape the enclosure appears to be sub-circular.

April 2012. Norfolk NMP.
NMP mapping has altered the central grid reference of the site from TG 0859 0315 to TG 0854 0316.
The possible sub-circular enclosure described above, visible on aerial photographs including (S2), relates to a former quarry of relatively recent origin. The latter is visible as a depression on aerial photographs taken in 1973 (S3). Therefore, beyond correcting the location and extent of the site, the feature has not been mapped by NMP.
