Full Description
3 July 1976. Cambridge University Collection of Aerial Photographs.
Linear cropmarks of ditches - flanking trackway, fields etc.
D. Edwards (NAU) 18 November 1985.
13 July 1993. NLA aerial photography.
Cropmarks of field system still visible, an additional trackway can be traced, running north-south, intersecting the previously recorded east-west feature.
Two rectangular enclosures are also visible, these appear to be separate from the field system boundaries.
S. Massey (NLA) 9 February 2001.
25 June 1996. NLA aerial photography.
Cropmarks still visible.
In addition to the cropmarks already recorded, distinct enclosures are visible, and further linear features extend into the upper part of the present field (just to the south of Flagmeadow Plantation).
H. Clare (NLA), 28 August 2001.
March 2022. Aylsham and Brampton Aerial Investigation and Mapping (AIM) Project.
The cropmarks of possible medieval to post medieval field systems and enclosures (see above) can be seen on aerial photographs(S1-S3). The field systems may relate to at least two phases. Although the features most likely date to the medieval to post medieval period, it’s possible that some of the features may be Iron Age to Roman in date. Cropmarks of post medieval boundaries which are recorded in good detail on the readily available historic maps (for example S4), have not been mapped as part of this project.
