October 2002. Norfolk NMP.
A slight earthwork bank is visible running from TG 0567 4440 to TG 0564 4413, on 1946 RAF aerial photographs (S1). This is 268m long and varies in width from 9-13m. This is likely to a bank relating to sea defence and saltmarsh improvement during the post-medieval peiod. The feature now appears to be being used a as footpath or trackway.
