NHER 52222 (Cropmark and Earthwork record) - Cropmarks of a fragmentary field system and trackways of probable later prehistoric or Iron Age date

March 2009. Norfolk NMP.
The cropmarks of a fragmentary field system and trackways of probable later prehistoric or Iron Age date, are visible on aerial photographs to the southeast of Caistor Roman town (S1-S8). The site, which is centred on TG 2333 0286, consists of fragmentary ditches and former field boundaries are broadly following a NE-SW and NW-SE alignment. Although it was felt that this fragmented area of fields is most likely to pre-date the Roman phase of activity identified to the north (NHER 52228), it must be stated that Roman date finds predominate over the area of these cropmarks (NHER 37434 & 37495). It must be noted that rectilinear and linear geological cropmarks in the area of TG 2326 0279 made the confident identification of the archaeological features problematic.
