Full Description
February 2010. Norfolk NMP.
Two parallel fragmentary ditches are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs (S1)-(S4) on land to the east of Harling Farm, East Harling, centred on TM 0026 8708. The ditches run west northwest-east southeast for approximately 140m, and are situated 21m apart.
They may represent post medieval drainage features, although they are clearly cut through by a track that is visible on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map (S5).
It is also possible that these features are related to the possible enclosures visible c. 60m to the west (NHER 53391).
E. Bales (NMP), 10 February 2010.
