Full Description
Line of trackway seen in gardens and fields.
Pine piles found at river end in marsh 1967.
R. R. Clarke (NCM).
Originally recorded in the parish of Eaton, now part of Norwich.
December 2009.
Although the position and alignment of the postulated trackway described above is different, could this in fact be the remnants of the post medieval field boundary shown on (S1) between TG 2072 0563 and TG 2054 0555? Aerial photographs (such as (S2)-(S3)) show that this boundary had been entirely removed by the early 1950s, and the plough-levelled bank could produce a mark or low earthwork much like that of a trackway.
S. Tremlett (NLA), 4 December 2009.
