NHER 54399 (Cropmark and Earthwork record) - Cropmarks of an enclosure of unknown but possible Iron Age to Roman date

August 2010. Norfolk NMP.
The cropmarks of a probable rectangular or square enclosure of unknown but possible Iron Age to Roman date, is visible on aerial photographs to the east of Brickyard Farm, Horsford (S1-3). The site, which is centred on TG 1939 1416, consists of a probable enclosure, which is bisected by the Reepham Road, which measures approximately 88m by 84m (S1-S2). The date of this enclosure is unknown, although an Iron Age to Roman date seems most likely. Other rectangular enclosures 700m to the northwest (NHER 18126) have also been interpreted as being this date. Other possible cropmarks to the northeast of the enclosure were omitted from the mapping due to suspicion that they were of geological origin (S2-S3). The area of these cropmarks was however included within the extent of the site in case some additional archaeological features were present and not recognised.

The western section of the rectangular enclosure (centred at approximately TG 1934 1406) mapped by the NMP survey (see above) is faintly visible as cropmarks on relatively recent (2016, 2022, 2025) Google Earth imagery (S4).
