Full Description
July 2004, Norfolk NMP.
Linear ditches are visible as cropmarks on aerial photographs (S1), centred at TG 2186 3966. Their alignment suggests that they predate the pattern of enclosure depicted on historic maps (S2-3). Their function is unknown but they could feasibly represent field boundaries or the ditches on either side of a trackway.
S. Tremlett (NMP), 1 July 2004.
