Full Description
Assorted cropmarks around disused sewage beds and pumping station at the head of a small coombe, including possible small (circa 40 x 50m) irregular enclosure (S1).

Boundaries relating to probable medieval to post medieval field divisions are visible as cropmarks on aerial photographs (S2)-(S4), centred at TM 4863 9680. The field pattern defined by the cropmarks is likely to be the same as that depicted on an estate map of Somerleyton dating to 1652 (S5). Similar boundaries are visible as earthworks within Somerleyton Park (SHER SOL 015, MSX27299). The cropmarks described above are not thought to be of archaeological origin and have not been mapped.
