Summary

Cropmarks of field boundaries or incomplete enclosures of unknown date are visible on aerial photographs. A curving linear ditch cropmark is present on a northwest to southeast alignment. The alignment of these cropmarks does not conform to that of the post medieval field pattern. It is likely that these ditches relate to field boundaries or part of a large enclosure, but their date is uncertain.

Full Description

November 2008. Norfolk NMP.
Cropmarks of field boundaries or incomplete enclosures of unknown date are visible on aerial photographs (S1)-(S2). These cropmarks are centred on TG 3077 0956. A curving linear ditch cropmark is present on a northwest to southeast alignment. Two parallel linear ditches lead off of it towards the southeast. The alignment of these cropmarks does not conform to that of the post medieval field pattern. It is likely that these ditches relate to field boundaries or part of a large enclosure but their date is uncertain. They are similar in alignment to linear features observed approximately 1km to the northeast (NHER 45132).
E. Bales (NMP), 28 November 2008.
