Earthworks of a ditch and bank forming the boundary of a medieval common are visible on aerial photographs (S4-S5). The central grid reference for these earthworks has been amended from TM 3785 9405 to TM 3780 9403. An earthwork of a 3.5m wide L-shaped ditch is visible on 1989 aerial photographs (S4). Earlier aerial photographs dating to 1945 (S5) show the ditch continuing intermittently to the west and a short section of bank earthwork on the same alignment. This ditch and bank partly forms the boundary to a small area of common land shown on Faden’s 1797 Map of Norfolk (S3) and is not a moat as it was initially thought to be.
