Summary
A rapid earthwork identification survey in 2011 revealed two long irregular depressions and a scarp. They are thought to be boundaries possibly associated with Thetford Warren Lodge. A subsequent desk-based survey using aerial photographs and lidar failed to identify any features of particular significance at this location, amongst an extensive spread of boundaries and trackways (NHER 61542).
