NHER 27220 (Cropmark and Earthwork record) - Cropmarks of undated linear features

October 2002. Norfolk NMP.
Group of linear cropmarks within an area of geological patterning, visible on both BKS aerial photographs from 1988 (S1) and Ordnance Survey aerial photographs from 1994 (S2). The clearest feature is a ditch running from TG 0577 4325 to TG 0567 4325, then it turns to the south and continues to TG 0567 4323. This L-shaped linear is 104m long (east-west) and 22.5m across (north-south). The ditch varies in width from 2-2.5m. Parallel to the east-west leg of this ditch is another linear running from TG 0568 4325 to TG 0568 4323, measuring 17.5m long and less than 1m thick. This area is quite heavily patterned by geology, so it possible further elements of this site are obscured. Three additional, parallel linears are visible to the south, running from TG 0576 4325 to TG 0568 4323, measuring 52m, and TG 0573 4320 to TG 0573 4323, 34m, and from TG 0580 4315 to TG 0580 4313, 26m long. These parallel linears do not appear to relate to drainage as they work against the topography and are positioned along the slope. The date of this site is not known and the features themselves are much obscured by geological pattern.
