Full Description
March 2009. Norfolk NMP.
The cropmarks of possible fragmentary ditches of unknown date are visible on aerial photographs to the west of Primrose Farm, Swainsthorpe (S1). The site is centred on TG 2183 0048. A Roman find within the vicinity of these cropmarks (NHER 23724) could indicate a Roman date for the ditches. However the archaeological origin of these cropmarks is not certain and a natural cause for the cropmarks remains a possibility. The features are located within an area of geologically derived cropmarks, many of which are linear or rectilinear in nature. It is therefore possible that the linear features mapped as possible ditches are in fact natural in origin.
