NHER 50671 (Cropmark and Earthwork record) - Cropmark field boundaries of unknown date

November 2007. Norfolk NMP.
The cropmarks of fragmentary linear ditches of unknown and multi-period date, probably representing the remains of former field boundaries and trackways, are visible on aerial photographs to the north and south of Morton Lane at Hardingham Hills (S1). The site is centred on TG 1155 1651. Finds in the area indicate activity in this area from the prehistoric, Roman, Saxon and medieval to post medieval periods (NHER 23772, 29344, 33084, 34459, 44454). The broad range of finds in the area makes it hard to attribute the cropmarks to any one period. Some of these cropmarks may be contemporary with the boundaries and fields mapped to the east of the site (NHER 50654). The date of these cropmarks is also unknown, although it is felt that some may be Roman in date.

A number of geological cropmarks are visible within this area, only those cropmarks that were of convincing archaeological origin, such as those with linear and rectilinear elements were mapped. Although it is possible that some of the features mapped are non-archaeological.
