Full Description
June 2007. Norfolk NMP.
The cropmarks of a group of undated ditches and field boundaries are visible on aerial photographs to the north of the southeast of Blofield village (S1-S3). The site is centred on TG 3404 0925. It seems likely that these cropmarks represent several phases of activity, some of which may be late prehistoric to Roman in date, whilst others may represent medieval to post medieval boundaries and drains. Any obviously post medieval elements, such as those corresponding with boundaries marked on the Tithe and Ordnance Survey maps, were omitted from the NMP mapping.
