NHER 26978 (Cropmark and Earthwork record) - Possible medieval or post medieval field boundaries

May 2002. Norfolk NMP.
The cropmarks of possibly post medieval field boundary are visible on aerial photographs within Burnham Thorpe parish (S1). It is quite consistent with others marked, some now removed, on (S2). Therefore it is likely to be post medieval in date. Although the boundaries divide the land into quite wide strips and the boundary mapped is quite sinuous, it is therefore possible that these land divisions are based on earlier medieval fields and furlongs.

The cropmarks of linear bank run from TF 8493 4044 to TF 8419 4019, from one side of the field to the other. It is 325m long and between 2 and 4m wide. This feature appears to be field boundary or hedgeline.
