Full Description

May 2012. Norfolk NMP.
A linear ditch and bank is visible as a soilmark on aerial photographs (S1-S2) on land to the north of Flaxton Farm, Besthorpe. The site is centred on TM 0774 9581. It is possible that the bank feature relates to a modern pipeline, but the blurred ditch section at the southern end is visible on photographs from 1946 (S1), so this is less likely.
E. Bales (NMP), 1st May 2012.
