NHER 38964 (Monument record) - Cropmarks of linear ditches of possible Iron Age to Roman date

November 2004. Norfolk NMP.
The cropmarks described below were previously recorded as NHER 12850.

A number of linear ditches are visible as cropmarks on aerial photographs (S1-3), centred at TG 2671 3716. They are most likely to be field boundaries of Iron Age to Romano-British date, part of a larger field system identified to the south and south-east. At the same time, however, it is possible that at least some of the shorter segments of ditch are associated with either the medieval (NHER 38963) or post-medieval (NHER 38960) field systems visible as cropmarks in the same field. The field boundaries also lie close to the site of two possible Bronze Age round barrows (NHER 12850), but it is not clear whether these earlier monuments were a significant factor in the laying out of the field system or whether they even survived as earthworks at this date.

The field boundaries are visible over an area measuring approximately 327m by 55m.
