Map

October 2002. Norfolk NMP.
Slight earthwork of ditch running from TF 8353 4314 to TF 8362 4324, visible on 1946 RAF aerial photographs (S1). This feature is 135m long and goes from 3m in width at its southern end to 16m at its northern end. This feature is located in an area of heavily drained land, either side of the River Burn. It is possible that this slightly funnel shaped ditch is part of an earlier drainage scheme, possible post medieval in date.
S. Massey (NMP), 3 October 2002.
