The earthwork bank described above probably equates to the bank mapped just to the south of this recorded location using imagery from a recent lidar survey (S1). Like NHER 61083 to its north, and a previously unrecorded bank lying between them, these banks may mark the boundary of the medieval to post-medieval Santon Warren (NHER 54065). All of the banks have been recorded as part of NHER 62066.
S. Tremlett (Norfolk Historic Environment Service), 13 December 2017.
