Full Description
January 2022. Broads Hidden Heritage: Aerial Perspectives.
A field system, possibly of prehistoric or Roman date, is visible as cropmarks on aerial photographs (S1). It may incorporate one or more enclosures; there appears to be a possibly double-ditched rectilinear enclosure in the southwestern part of the site (around TG 3966 0804). The orientation of the field system is at odds with the modern field pattern, suggesting a relatively early date. Like other field systems recorded in the area (such as NHER 6096 approximately 1km to the south) a Roman – or Late Iron Age to Roman – date seems plausible.
