Summary

A group of fragmentary linear and curvilinear ditches of unknown date is visible as cropmarks on aerial photographs. These may form part of the same complex of medieval to post medieval field boundaries and trackways identified 45m to the south (NHER 27263) but too little is visible for the site to be interpreted with any certainty.

Map

March 2005. Norfolk NMP.
A group of ditches is visible as fragmentary cropmarks on aerial photographs (S1) and (S2), centred at TG 4865 1533. Like other nearby cropmark sites, e.g. NHER 27264 140m to the southwest and NHER 19534 110m to the east, these may represent a continuation of the medieval to post medieval field boundaries and trackways mapped to the south (NHER 27263). The cropmarks described here are so fragmentary, however, that any such association can only be made tentatively.

The two sets of parallel ditches visible between TG 4865 1537 and TG 4864 1536 and between TG 4874 1525 and TG 4869 1523 may both define parts of trackways.
