Full Description
December 2004. Norfolk NMP.
A series of parallel linear cropmark ditches are visible on aerial photographs to the east of Beckett’s Plantation, Roughton (S1). It is possible that these cropmarks represent part of a trackway or multiple ditched boundary. However the archaeological origin of these feature is not definite and it is possible that that they are agricultural, potentially relating to drainage. The site is situated in the base of a slight valley.
The site is centred on TG 2234 4007 and consists of four parallel linear ditches, three of which are quite closely set to one another. The ditches are quite narrow and range in length from 40m to 68m.

September 2017. Geophysical Survey.
Magnetometer survey of proposed development site (Area 1).
No anomalies of clear archaeological origin were identified. There was therefore no evidence for subsurface remains associated the parallel linear cropmarks previously identified in this field.
See report (S2) and NHER 64350 for further details.
