Full Description
October 2006. Norfolk NMP
Undated linear and curvilinear ditch cropmarks, possibly field boundaries, are visible on aerial photographs (S1-S2). These cropmarks are centred on TG 3163 1135. Cropmarks of three ditches are present on roughly southwest to northeast and northwest to southeast alignments. It is possible that they are field boundaries that are aligned roughly parallel to a small valley to their southeast. The southeastern ditch follows the edge of the valley side and it is possible that it forms a small lynchet.
These field boundaries do not fully correspond to the field pattern marked on the 1839 Little Plumstead tithe map (S3) or later maps and could be of medieval date.
Two roughly parallel curvilinear ditches, possibly a trackway, are present on a different northwest to southeast alignment in the southern part of this group. Their relationship to the field boundaries is uncertain and they are of unknown date.
