NHER 42448 (Monument record) - Medieval to post medieval drainage ditches and channels

January 2006. Norfolk NMP.
Earthworks of linear and curvilinear drainage ditches of medieval to post medieval date are visible on aerial photographs (S1). These earthworks are centred on TG 4662 0545 in an area of former marshland. The ditches are present on a range of different alignments, some of which correspond to the modern drainage pattern. A curvilinear ditch earthwork on a northwest to southeast alignment may have originated as a natural channel. It may have been incorporated into the drainage pattern at a later, possibly medieval, date. Other sections of ditch earthwork are likely to be of post medieval date.

October 2017-January 2018. Watching Brief.
Maintained during excavation of shallow scrape at TG 4676 0547.
These works exposed a north-west to south-east aligned ditch that clearly corresponded with the earthwork mapped at this location. No dating evidence was recovered.
See report (S2) and NHER 67170 for further details.
