NHER 57411 (Monument record) - Possible medieval to post medieval enclosures and boundaries

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

The site of possible former medieval to early post medieval enclosures and boundaries may be visible on aerial photographs. No NMP mapping was undertaken of these possible features due uncertainty over there age and significance. The features are only clearly visible as a combination of soilmarks and slight earthworks in 1995. Earlier aerial photographs, such as those dating to 1946, revealed no convincing traces of these definite features (other than those relating to former field boundaries marked on historic maps). Additionally photography taken in 1970 indicates a small plantation or tree nursery on the site and it is therefore possible that all of these very clear enclosure and boundary-like marks visible in 1995 relate to the removal of trees and other horticultural activities.

Full Description

July 2012. Norfolk NMP.
The site of possible former medieval to early post medieval enclosures and boundaries may be visible on aerial photographs (S1). The site is centred on TM 0396 9602. No NMP mapping was undertaken of these possible features due uncertainty over their age and significance. The features are only clearly visible as a combination of soilmarks and slight earthworks in 1995 (S1). Earlier aerial photographs, such as those dating to 1946 (S2), revealed no convincing traces of these definite features (other than those relating to former field boundaries marked on historic maps, for example the Ordnance Survey Second Edition map (S3)). Additionally photography taken in 1970 (S4) indicates a small plantation or tree nursery on the site and it is therefore possible that all of these very clear enclosure and boundary-like marks visible in 1995 relate to the removal of trees and other horticultural activities.
