NHER 54637 (Monument record) - Site of irregular field boundary of probable medieval or post medieval date

June 2011. Norfolk NMP.
An irregular field boundary, joined at a right angle by a more regular boundary or drain, is visible as a cropmark on aerial photographs (S1), centred at TG 1345 0161. The boundary is not depicted on any consulted maps, and its irregular nature suggests it could be of relatively early, medieval or post medieval date. It might also have followed and defined the edge of some natural feature, such as a wood or area of meadow (it lies adjacent to a minor tributary of the River Tiffey). It is also of interest because it lies on the southeastern edge of an extensive post medieval field pattern, with traces of potentially earlier elements, visible as cropmarks/soilmarks and extant boundaries stretching from the outskirts of Wymondham in the west to the parish boundary to the east (see NHER 36746 and 54633-6).
