Full description
April 2002. Norfolk NMP.
Group of linear features, visible on RAF aerial photographs from 1953 (S1). The site consists of five roughly parallel ditches, ranging from 15m to 40m in length. Two stretches of bank are visible approximately 2 to 3.5m wide and both approximately 23m long. It is possible that these features are part of site NHER 26837, a series of banks and ditches, probably water meadows.
