Summary

A linear ditch or track of unknown date is visible as a cropmark on aerial photographs. It cuts across the pattern of enclosure depicted on historic maps but the straightness and strength of the cropmark suggest that it is most likely to be a post-medieval field boundary or agricultural track.

June 2004, Norfolk NMP.
A linear ditch or track is visible as a cropmark on aerial photographs (S1-2), centred at TG 2118 3793. It is visible as a positive and negative cropmark on different aerial photographs and therefore its interpretation is rather uncertain. Its straightness and strength as a cropmark suggest that it may be a post-medieval field boundary or trackway but it cuts across the pattern of enclosure depicted on historic maps (e.g. S3). If it is a field boundary it presumably pre-dates this pattern; if it is an agricultural trackway is may be contemporary with it.
The ditch or track is visible for a length of 117m, from TG 2121 3788 to TG 2115 3798. Other linear features visible on the same aerial photographs, which correspond with field boundaries depicted on (S3) or fit the same general pattern, have not been mapped.
