Full description

'Splodge marks' of oblong/subsquare shape which may indicate sites of Early Saxon sunken feature buildings or grubenhauser (?)
D. Edwards (NAU), 28 1 January 1985
April 2010. Norfolk NMP.
Positive cropmarks are visible on aerial photographs (S1-2) centred on TG 2426 1326, however it seems more likely that they relate to geological marks or quarrying activity and have therefore not been mapped.
E. Bales (NMP), April 2010.
