NHER 45201 (Monument record) - Multi-period and undated cropmarks

October 2006. Norfolk NMP.
The cropmarks of a dispersed group of multi-period and undated ditches are visible on aerial photographs in the vicinity of Cliff Park High School (S1-S2). The site is centred on TG 5263 0228 and runs from Lowestoft Road to the west, Marine Parade to the east, Bridge Road to the north and Links Road to the south, Gorleston on Sea. Other cropmarks located within this area include a possible late prehistoric field system (NHER 43513), an undated, but possibly late prehistoric date enclosure (NHER 43512), an undated boundary (NHER 45196) and the northern edge of large field system of probable Roman date (NHER 43495). The grounds of the High School were also the location of a large World War Two Heavy Anti-Aircraft Battery and Nucleus Force Battle Headquarters (NHER 32668). The cropmarks recorded under this multi-period site do not appear to fit into any specific phase. The majority of the cropmarks consist of short sections of ditch and linear features and are likely to be the fragments of former field boundaries. Without further evidence it is impossible to offer any worthwhile interpretation of these features. Additional aerial photograph material or archaeological excavation would be needed to investigate this area further.
