Full Description
January 2008. Norfolk NMP.
A group of possible ditches, of unknown date, is visible as cropmarks on aerial photographs (S1)-(S3), centred at TG 2591 1979. They could represent parts of field boundaries and/or trackways. Their orientation is at odds with that of the modern field pattern but is close to that of a trackway (NHER 50777) and field boundaries (NHER 50778) of probable prehistoric and/or Romano-British date visible 200m to the south. A similar date is possible for the ditches described here. Their archaeological origin, however, is uncertain, as there are numerous cropmarks of non-archaeological origin visible in this field, including those of a probable palaeochannel. It is possible that the ditches instead represent features of geological and/or recent agricultural origin.
S. Tremlett (NMP), 7 January 2008.
