Full Description
THESE CROPMARKS WERE PREVIOUSLY RECORDED UNDER NHER 11691.
1975.
Very faint cropmarks of what could be a rectangular enclosure with two circular ditches, but all are very indistinct.
See (S1).
E. Rose (NAU), 19 October 1976.
March 2009. Norfolk NMP.
Assessment of the above mentioned aerial photograph (S1) as part of the NMP project revealed no convincing sign of an enclosure at this location. A series of possible cropmarks were tentatively identified on vertical aerial photographs from 1945 (S2), some of which appeared to match up with post medieval field boundaries depicted on historic maps. The remainder of the cropmarks, consisting of linear and rectilinear ditch-like marks, could not convincingly be distinguished as archaeology and could easily have been created by relatively recent agricultural activity in the field and were therefore not mapped, but a note of their possible presence has been made in case of future evidence arising or evaluation of the site.
S. Horlock (NMP), 24 March 2009.
