Summary

Several linear and curvilinear ditches of unknown date and function are visible as cropmark on aerial photographs. They might conceivably form an outlying part of the more extensive areas of linear cropmarks mapped to the southwest (NHER 38895) and southeast (NHER 38896) for which an Iron Age to Romano-British date can be postulated. Only a small area of the site is visible, however, and the ditches are rather fragmentary. As a consequence the site is difficult to interpret and while the cropmarks have the general appearance of being older features, the possibility that the ditches have a modern agricultural origin cannot be ruled out.

Map

October 2004. Norfolk NMP.
A number of linear and curvilinear ditches are visible as cropmarks on aerial photographs (S1), centred at TG 2691 3903. Too little of the site is visible to draw any firm conclusions as to its date and function but it might conceivably form part of the extensive system of fields and enclosures mapped in the surrounding area. An Iron Age to Romano-British date is postulated for much of this larger field system.
