June 2010. Norfolk NMP.
The aerial photograph described above (S4) 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.
