Summary

The cropmarks of ditches and former field boundaries of probable post-medieval date are visible on aerial photographs to the east of Church Farm, Taverham. Finds in this general area include Saxon date material, although it seems unlikely that the ditches pre-date the post medieval period, or medieval to post-medieval periods.
