NHER 54746 (Monument record) - Possible post medieval drainage earthworks

The Norfolk Heritage Explorer is a filtered version of the Norfolk HER intended for casual research. Please contact us to consult the full record.

Summary

A linear ditch earthwork is visible on aerial photographs to the north of Ashtree Farm, Morley. It is possible that this relates to the ditches recorded to the north east, as part of the deserted medieval village NHER 12178. It is also possible that it relates to drainage, as it does appear to run into a drain to the west. Three narrower ditches are also visible running perpendicular to the larger one, suggesting that they perform a drainage function.
