NHER 52241 (Cropmark and Earthwork record) - Cropmarks of field boundaries of probable Roman date

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

Cropmarks of field boundaries of probable Roman date are visible on aerial photographs to the north of the Roman road (NHER 30288) leading to the Roman town of Venta Icenorum (NHER 9786). Some of these boundaries follow a broadly similar alignment to probable Roman date enclosures and fields to the east (NHER 52228) and it seem likely that these are broadly contemporary.

Full Description

March 2009. Norfolk NMP.
Cropmarks of field boundaries of probable Roman date are visible on aerial photographs (S1-S3) to the north of the Roman road (NHER 30288) leading to the Roman town of Venta Icenorum (NHER 9786). The site is centred on TG 2391 0322. Some of these boundaries follow a broadly similar alignment to probable Roman date enclosures and fields to the east (NHER 52228) and it seems likely that these are broadly contemporary, but form part of a separate phase to NHER 52242 to the immediate east.
S. Horlock (NMP), 23 March 2009.
