Full Description
June 2010. Norfolk NMP.
A substantial, sinuous field and/or parish boundary, of probable medieval date, is visible as a soil- and cropmark on aerial photographs (S1)-(S5), between TG 1479 0721 and TG 1457 0669. It partly coincides with the parish boundary between Great and Little Melton. Less substantial ditched boundaries orientated parallel and perpendicular to it are probably contemporary minor field boundaries, established when the principal boundary was still in use even if some time after its initial construction. The site overlaps with a group of possibly earlier field boundaries (NHER 53693) which follow a different orientation.
S. Tremlett (NMP), 20 June 2010.
