Full Description
October 2002. Norfolk NMP.
Earthwork ditch running from TF 8236 4401 to TF 8242 4404 on 1953 RAF aerial photographs (S1), measuring 70m long and up to 4m across. It is situated in a marshy area, so it may have acted as a drain. This feature may be as early as medieval, although it is probably post medieval in date.
S. Massey (NMP), 4 October 2002.
