NHER 52004 (Cropmark and Earthwork record) - Cropmarks of a group of undated ditches and possible trackway

March 2009. Norfolk NMP.
The cropmarks of a group of undated ditches are visible on aerial photographs (S1)-(S3) to the south west of the Postwick Transmitter Station, and to the west of a comparable cropmark site (NHER 49558). The site is centred on TG 2982 0836.

It seems likely that these cropmarks represent several phases of activity, as it is possible to see cropmarks of different orientation overlying each other in at least one area (TG 3002 0846) Finds in this area indicate activity throughout the prehistoric, Roman and medieval to post medieval periods. It is likely that many of these cropmarks represent former field boundaries, however it is also possible that the parallel ditch features at TG 2975 0811 and at TG 3003 0847 represent the fragmentary remains of at least one possible trackway.

A ring ditch, which may date to the Bronze Age, Iron Age to Roman, or medieval to post medieval period was identified towards the west of the area (NHER 52049).

January 2014. Geophysical Survey.
Magnetometer survey of site of proposed new Water Treatment Works and section of associated pipeline scheme.
Although the survey area coincided with the three short parallel cropmarks mapped at the western edge of the feature there was no evidence for any associated sub-surface remains.
See NHER 62625 for further details.
