Full Description
January 2008. Norfolk NMP.
A linear ditch is visible as a cropmark on aerial photographs (S1)-(S2), with a shorter, parallel length of ditch visible 15.5m to its south, both centred around TG 2658 1704. Although it is oriented at a slight angle, in general terms the ditch conforms to the same pattern of enclosure as that depicted on 19th and 20th century maps. Certainly, there is no evidence that it dates to any earlier than the post medieval period. It may have been a field boundary, or simply a track crossing the field. The archaeological significance of the shorter length of ditch visible to its south is uncertain; it might instead be a product of modern agricultural activity.
