Full Description
April 2020. National Mapping Programme (NMP) Data Clean-Up.
This site was mapped from aerial photographs as part of the Norfolk Coastal Zone NMP, but not recorded. This record was written more than 10 years later, without access to the original sources, and therefore the information that can be included is limited, and the interpretation is more tentative than it might be otherwise.
A mound or platform, probably the remains of a medieval saltern mound, was mapped from aerial photographs by the Norfolk Coastal Zone NMP. It is not known whether the site was visible as earthworks, cropmarks or soilmarks, and the specific photographs on which the features were visible is not known. Whether any element of the site still survives is also not known. The mapping suggests that the mound or platform has been truncated on its eastern side, where it appears to have been divided in two.
