January 2001. NMP.
An area of ridge and furrow is visible at TF 695 432 as an earthwork on the 1944 aerial photographs (S1). The ridge and furrow is fairly straight and narrow, which would suggest a post medieval date.
A. Hunt (NMP), 22 January 2001.

August 2002. Norfolk 2002. Norfolk NMP.
A further area of ridge and furrow is visible on Ordnance Survey aerial photographs from 1967 (S2), centred at TF 6966 4327, measuring 130m by 150m. The two areas of ridge and furrow are separated by a bank, which runs alongside the drain. This linear runs from TF 6968 4337 to TF 6959 4315 and is approximately 4-5m wide.
