Full Description
February 2004, Norfolk NMP
Two undated ditches, up to 140m long, are visible as cropmarks on aerial photographs (S1). They are aligned approximately east to west and almost parallel to each other. It is possible that they define the edge of a trackway 23m wide at its eastern end and 16m wide at its western end. The site lies approximately 450m to the southeast of a probable Iron Age or Roman square barrow (NHER 13027) and trackway (NHER 38472), and a similar date for the possible trackway described here seems plausible. To some extent, however, the ditches do appear to lead towards the corner of the field and Helsdon's Farm to their east, and therefore a post medieval or modern date is also possible.
