NHER 27098 (Monument record) - Possible medieval salterns

October 2002. Norfolk NMP.
The group consists of three mounds (S1 and S2) centred on TF 6301 2317, TF 6307 2312, and TF 6301 2304. The northernmost mound is sub-rounded in plan, with a maximum diameter of 126m. The southern two mounds are irregular to sub-rounded in plan, but with some relatively straight edges. They are relatively large features with maximum diameters of 100m and 125m.
These features form part of a dense concentration of saltern mounds located along the saltmarsh in North and South Wootton. This group were probably originally situated along the edges of meandering saltmarsh channels. Direct dating evidence is scarce but isolated finds of pottery would suggest that the majority of the mounds are medieval in date.
