Full Description
October 2006. Norfolk NMP
Earthworks and banks of medieval to post medieval field boundaries are visible on aerial photographs (S1). These earthworks are centred on TM 4104 9110. Linear boundary ditches are present as earthworks in pasture land. These have a rectilinear plan and lie on a similar axis to the modern field pattern. Although incomplete they are clearly cut by the present pattern of field boundary and drainage ditches and the former railway line. They appear to predate the 19th century Gillingham tithe map (S2) and probably relate to early post medieval or medieval boundaries and drainage ditches.
