September 2016. Field Observation.
Assessment of earthworks ahead of works undertaken as part of the River Wensum Restoration Scheme.
Low banks were visible in the area of pasture where this enclosure had previously been recorded. Due to dense undergrowth it was impossible to determine whether it extended into the adjacent woodland.
The earthworks were not affected by the groundworks.
See report (S3) for further details.
