Full Description
January 2008. Norfolk NMP.
Two or more fragmentary linear ditches are visible as cropmarks on aerial photographs (S1), centred at TG 2609 1404. Their date and function are unknown. Two of the segments lie parallel to each other, perhaps indicating a trackway. A third segment, which may or may not join to that visible to its northwest, overlaps with a ring ditch or oval enclosure (NHER 50760), possibly the site of a prehistoric funerary monument, which it presumably post-dates. At the same time, the cropmarks are visible on only one set of aerial photographs and they could reflect recent agricultural activity, rather than archaeological features. Conversely, there could be further archaeology visible here that has not been recognised.
S. Tremlett (NMP), 30 January 2008.
