NHER 16692 (Monument record) - Possible site of a post medieval lime kiln

Personal Communication.
A geologist reported the remains of a lime kiln in 1960. However, the informant could find no trace of it in 1976 and a man who had lived in the village since 1919 reported that he had never heard of it. The informant reported that this spot is marked as 'Limekiln Plantation' in 1880. However, the first edition ordinance survey map (S1) records 'Limekiln Wood' at TG 132 145.

Sit has no mention on Tithe map. Marked as "Marl pit" on 6ins O.S. 1890 (S2). In a published list of chalk working sites in Norfolk (N. Peake 1960) the site is described as "large, overgrown with remains of kiln".

The earthworks of a large pit, most likely associated with the post medeival extractive marl pit mapped on the Ordnance Survey 1st edition 6" map (see above; S3) is visible on visualised lidar data data (S4). As the lidar was flown relatively recently, it is likely the feature still survives an earthwork. The site of the suggested lime kiln was not clearly visible on the sources consulted as part of this project. A mound feature is visible on the visualised lidar data (located at approximately TG 1382 1421). However, it is uncertain from the lidar data alone as to whether this feature relates to site of the kiln or to a modern feature. The mound feature is obscured by tree canopies on recent (2022) aerial photographs (such as S5).
