Full Description
May 2007. Walkover Survey.
Felbrigg Estate Woodland Archaeological Earthwork Rapid Identification Survey. Common Plantation, Site 15:
A 0.7 area of earthworks.
A well-defined bank and outer ditch is the former common-edge boundary linking NHER 50349 and 50350.
A sub-rectangular ditched enclosure is about 50m east-west by 31m north-south, with a central platform and two internal ponds.
The enclosure has been tentatively interpreted as a moated site by P. Wade-Martins, but the small size and the wet nature does not encourage this interpretation.
Likeliest interpretation is fish ponds.
See report (S1) for further details and 1:1000 plan.
