NHER 26833 (Monument record) - Cropmarks of possible Late Iron Age to Roman enclosures and field systems

April 2002. Norfolk NMP.
Group of co-joined enclosures and linears, covering 200m by 160m, visible on NLA oblique aerial photographs from 1976 (S1). The main feature is a rectangular enclosure, measuring 30m by at least 65m, but it potentially continues for another 35m to the coutheast into the adjoining field. This enclosure is internally subdivided into smaller rectangular compartments. These include two co-joined rectilinear enclosures at TF 6747 3632, both between 8 to 10m by 11 to 13m across. A slightly broader and curvilinear ditch runs across the site from TF 6741 3632 to TF 6759 3636. The majority of the ditches and linears co-join this main boundary. The site appears to represent a series of enclosed areas, some of which like the main rectangular space may have been a farmstead, the surrounding enclosures used for fields and livestock. The date of the settlement may be Romano-British, however its origins could be Late Iron Age.
