Full Description
February 2021. National Mapping Programme (NMP) Data Clean-Up.
This site was mapped from aerial photographs as part of the Thetford, Norwich and the A11 Corridor NMP project, but not recorded. This record was written approximately 10 years later, and therefore the information that can be included is limited, and the interpretation is more tentative than it might be otherwise.
Undated, fragmentary linear ditches are visible on aerial photographs (S1). As they are visible on aerial photographs taken in June, and the area is under arable cultivation (see Google Earth, for example), they are presumed to be visible as cropmarks. They lie adjacent and more-or-less parallel with the parish boundary between Hellesdon and Drayton, and could conceivably be associated with this feature.
