NHER 50673 (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 west of Morton Hall and the Rookery (S1). The site is centred on TG 1199 1594. Finds in the area indicate activity from the prehistoric, Roman, Saxon and medieval to post medieval periods (NHER 33084, 34459, 39720 and 44454). The broad range of finds in the area makes it hard to attribute the cropmarks to any one period. The ring ditch previously identified from aerial photographs within this field has been dismissed as the remains of an infilled pit or quarry, see NHER 32234 for details.

A large number of geological cropmarks were visible within this area defined by this site (S1-S2), some of which produced rectilinear and polygonal patterns. Only those cropmarks that were of convincing archaeological origin were mapped. Although it is possible that some of the features of archaeological origin have been misidentified as being of geological origin.
