Full Description
November 2006. Norfolk NMP
Cropmarks of field boundaries of unknown, but possibly Roman, date are visible on aerial photographs (S1). These cropmarks are centred on TG 3303 1854. A group of west to east and north to south aligned field boundary ditch cropmarks are present. They are incomplete and it is not possible to determine the dimensions of any individual fields. The cropmarks are cut by Long Lane, road that is marked as a track on Faden’s 1797 Map of Norfolk (S2). The area around these cropmarks is marked as Hoveton Common on that map. It is likely that the cropmarks relate to a field system of pre-medieval, possibly Roman, date. Further cropmarks of enclosures and field boundaries are present 200m to the west (NHER 45272).
