Full Description

July 2004. Norfolk NMP.
Earthworks of a parallel linear bank and ditch, of probable medieval to post medieval date, are visible on aerial photographs dating to 1943 (S1). These earthworks are centred on TG36163267. They extend for between 80m and 90m on a parallel east to west alignment and are spaced 25m apart. They do not correspond to any boundaries shown on Walcott tithe map (S2) or later maps, but are probably field or other boundaries of medieval to post medieval date. The area had been built over by 1965 (S3).
J. Albone (NMP), 20 July 2004.
