Map

June 2006. Norfolk NMP.
The cropmarks of a possible of trackway of unknown, but possible late prehistoric date are visible on aerial photographs to the south of Church Lane, Potter Heigham (S1). The site is centred on TG 4127 1993 and is located within a larger multiphase cropmark site (NHER 43719). Only a short section of this trackway is visible, running for approx 85m, and it is not obviously associated with any of the surrounding field boundaries and enclosure ditches mapped. The ditches are quite irregular in plan and are 15m apart. A late prehistoric, possibly Iron Age date is feasible for a trackway of this morphology. Although it could date to any period that pre-dates the post medieval field layout, as these boundaries cut across the cropmarks.
