Full Description
June 2003. Norfolk NMP.
A series of ridge and furrow style earthworks covering a relatively wide area (S1). The ridges and furrows are typically narrow and largely straight, mostly aligned in an east to west direction, although the northernmost strip within this site is orientated in the opposite direction. These are not typical or classic medieval ridge and furrow, and some are aligned across the short axis of a field, necessitating more rather than less turns with a plough team. They appear to be more closely related to lazybedding, and are typical feature of the newly reclaimed saltmarsh in this area. There is also a single ditched field boundary visible. These are probably all post-medieval in date.
M. Brennand (NMP), 24 June 2003.
