Full Description
October 2006. Norfolk NMP
Cropmarks of linear ditches, probably field boundaries of unknown and post medieval date are visible on aerial photographs (S1). These cropmarks are centred on TG 3248 0998. Two overlapping groups of linear ditch cropmarks are present. The first of these consist of two north to south aligned ditches, one of which joins a west to east ditch at its southern end. The alignment of these ditches is similar to that of the modern field pattern and it is likely that they relate to post medieval field boundaries. The second group of ditch cropmarks lie on northwest to southeast and southwest to northeast alignments. These ditches probably also relate to field boundaries but their date is unknown.
