Summary
An aerial photograph shows the cropmark of a possible rectangular feature, though it is uncertain whether this is natural or man made. Fieldwalking in the 1980s and early 1990s, during the construction of the Norwich Southern Bypass, recovered a number of prehistoric worked flints, Roman pottery sherds, and medieval to post medieval objects.

The aerial photograph described above (S1) could not be traced for consultation as part of the NMP survey and thus the existence and nature of the previously identified cropmark could not be confirmed. Consultation of the other photographs available for the area failed to identify an enclosure. However, a number of linear marks were recorded across the southern part of the area; these are recorded as an extension of NHER 9589 which lies immediately adjacent to the south.
