Its about a year now since I first wrote about this area and I have been back. The fields are now divided by a bare ribbon of earth, with crops growing right up to that ribbon as reminders of what the land will return too when work is completed.
During the clearance work to create the ribbon through the fields, signs of early human occupation have been found, on ground that would when the signs were left have been dry in that time before the peat developed, a time when Doggerland existed taking Norfolks coast hundreds of miles northwards. The signs are not big or incredible, they are just reminders and souvenirs that remind us we are never far from those that went before, what signs will we leave I sometimes wonder.
