Summary

A number of curvilinear ditches, perhaps defining some kind of enclosure, are visible as cropmarks on aerial photographs. The longer ditches appear to relate to two plantations, Drift Plantation and Rabbit Burrow, and may represent the boundary of a formerly larger plantation. The cropmarks, however, are visible on only one set of vertical aerial photographs and in the absence of corroborative evidence it remains possible that they are merely modern agricultural marks.

June 2004, Norfolk NMP.
A number of curvilinear ditches are visible as cropmarks on aerial photographs (S1), centred at TG 2120 3816. The longer ditches may define some kind of enclosure which, given their relationship with two adjacent plantations, may be a plantation boundary. The fact that the ditches are only visible on one set of vertical aerial photographs, however, throws their archaeological significance and origin in doubt.
