Full Description
March 2008. Norfolk NMP.
The earthworks of pair of medieval ditches, one of which marks the parish boundary between Tottenhill and Wormegay, are visible on aerial photographs to the west of Manor Farm, Tottenhill (S1). The earthworks have since been plough levelled and the site converted to arable cultivation.
The ditches vary in width from 2.5 to 6m and are cut by a drainage channel. Given their location it is possible that they had a drainage function, but have the overall appearance of agricultural boundary ditches, similar to those recorded around Manor Farm (NHER 50589).
S. Massey (NMP), 14 February 2008.
