Full Description

November 2007. Norfolk NMP.
The cropmarks of former field boundary of probable medieval to post medieval date are visible on aerial photographs to the northeast of Weston Longville village (S1). The site is centred on TG 1160 1622.

The boundary would appear to be constructed from parallel, discontinuous bank and ditch sections, although it is possible that this is partly due to the reversal of the positive cropmark over a single subsurface ditch. This boundary appears to abut boundaries (now removed) that are marked on the OS first edition map (1887-1891). A possible continuation of this feature may be visible to the west of Morton Lane and this may indicate a relatively early date for the boundary.
