Map

August 2002. Norfolk NMP.
Cropmarks of two curvilinear features visible on 1991 OS aerial photographs (S1). They are both approximately 100m long. The western example is centred on TF 6768 3694 and the eastern one at TF 6775 2690. It is possible that they are part of curvilinear enclosures, potentially of late prehistoric date. However, on the available evidence little definite interpretation can be made.

November 2014. Geophysical Survey.
Magnetometer survey of proposed development site to east of Cheney Hill.
One of the areas examined coincided with the western half of the western curvilinear feature. There was no evidence for associated sub-surface remains.
