Summary

A group of ditches – some probably representing post medieval field boundaries or drains, others of more uncertain origin – is visible as cropmarks on aerial photographs. Their archaeological significance is negligible or uncertain. They lie a short distance to the west of Heggatt Hall (NHER 8071), an Elizabethan house, and its grounds, but there is no evidence of an association between the two sites.

Map

January 2008. Norfolk NMP.
A group of ditches is visible as cropmarks on aerial photographs (S1), centred at TG 2687 1814. Some follow the orientation and pattern of the modern field boundaries that surround them, and are likely to be post medieval field boundaries or other agricultural features of similar date. The remainder, which are more irregular in appearance, are of more uncertain origin; rather than representing archaeological features they might simply be the product of modern agricultural activity. The archaeological significance of additional cropmarks visible in this field on other aerial photographs, (S2)-(S3), is too uncertain to warrant their being mapped.
