Full Description
April 2007. Norfolk NMP
A group of earthwork pits, possibly relating to post medieval clay extraction, are visible on aerial photographs (S1). These pits are centred on TG 4292 0169. The pits are rectangular in plan and measure up to 10m long by 4m wide. They are arranged in a regular, interlocking group, with each pit separated by a narrow baulk. It is likely that they are extraction pits of post medieval date, possibly for clay, but their exact function is unclear. Additional groups of pits are present further to the west (NHER 10423, 49350). The individual pits were not mapped and only their extent was recorded.
