Full Description
December 2012. Norfolk NMP.
Cropmarks of undated linear ditches are visible on aerial photographs (S1-S4) to the north and south of West Carr Road, Attleborough. It is possible that they relate to medieval to post medieval field boundary or drainage ditches, although they do not appear on historic maps of the area, and it is possible that they have a more recent origin.
They are centred on TM 0343 9471 and are aligned roughly northeast-southwest, over a distance of approximately 270m.

June 2015. Trial Trenching.
Evaluation of land west of Carver's Lane.
Two of the trenches excavated coincided with the northernmost cropmark in this group. However, although this cropmark coincided with a ditch recorded in one of these trenches, this appears to have been coincidental - the alignment of this feature suggesting it was probably unrelated.
See NHER 65568 for further details.
