NHER 52364 (Cropmark and Earthwork record) - Cropmarks of undated linear features, possible field boundaries

The Norfolk Heritage Explorer is a filtered version of the Norfolk HER intended for casual research. Please contact us to consult the full record.

Summary

Undated linear features are visible as cropmarks on aerial photographs. The features are faint and ephemeral, and in fact may relate to underlying geological features rather than archaeology. They do however appear to be on a similar alignment to the possible Roman period linear features 354m to the north (NHER 52362), and may perhaps relate to land division or field boundaries of the Roman period. There are also a number of Neolithic flint finds from the area (NHER 19141, 19553, 19561, 7758), which may suggest earlier activity on the site.

Full Description

October 2009. Norfolk NMP.
Undated linear features are visible as cropmarks on aerial photographs (S1), centred on TG 1763 1861. The features are faint and ephemeral and are only visible on one set of photographs, and in fact may relate to underlying geological features rather than archaeology. They do however appear to be on a similar alignment to the possible Roman period linear features 354m to the north (NHER 52362), and may perhaps relate to land division or field boundaries of the Roman period. There are also a number of Neolithic flint finds from the area (NHER 19141, 19553, 19561, 7758), which may suggest earlier activity on the site.
