Full Description

October 2006. Norfolk NMP.
A group of broadly linear features, probably ditches, is visible as cropmarks on aerial photographs (S1)-(S2), centred at TG 4028 1624. The date and function of the features is not known, and the possibility that they are of recent, non-archaeological origin cannot be ruled out. Certainly, there is no evidence that they date to any earlier than the medieval period. Given their low-lying position, they may have been drainage features.
S. Tremlett (NMP), 27 October 2006.
