Summary

The cropmarks of undated ditches and probable former field boundaries are visible on aerial photographs to the east of the River Wensum and within Taverham Hall Park. The date of these ditches is unknown and it is likely that they represent more than one phase of features. Finds within the area include Iron Age through to post medieval date material, with nearly all periods represented (NHER 32781) and therefore cannot help to date the cropmarks. Cropmarks of former post medieval field boundaries visible within the area of the park were not mapped.

Map

June 2010. Norfolk NMP.
The cropmarks of undated ditches and probable former field boundaries are visible on aerial photographs to the east of the River Wensum and within Taverham Hall Park (S1-S2). The site is centred on TG 1469 1381. The date of these ditches is unknown and it is likely that they represent more than one phase of features. Finds within the area include Iron Age through to post medieval date material, with nearly all periods represented (NHER 32781) and therefore cannot help to date the cropmarks. Possible additional cropmarks may have been present to the north of Ringland Road, but were not mapped due to uncertainty over their archaeological origin (S2). Cropmarks of former post medieval field boundaries visible within the area of the park were not mapped (S1).
