Full Description
September 2005. Norfolk NMP.
A group of drainage ditches is visible on aerial photographs within the Long Gore Marsh, Sea Palling (S1 and S2). The site is centred on TG 4305 2491. All of these drains appear to relate to a layout that pre-dates the boundaries marked on the Waxham Enclosure Map (S3). This map is undated, but must have been surveyed between 1820 and 1840 (after 1820 as Waxham Cut is marked and this navigable channel was dug in the 1820s (NHER 35366), and before the 1840 Tithe map was surveyed). The drainage ditches follow an alignment completely opposed to the post medieval drains that are associated with the later landscape.
S. Massey (NMP), 31 September 2005.
