Full Description
March 2006. Norfolk NMP.
Earthworks of a post medieval or modern linear boundary bank and ditch are visible on aerial photographs (S1). These earthworks are located at TF 7420 3533 within parkland around Fring Hall. A broad linear earthwork bank is visible for 137m on a northwest to southeast alignment between TF 7397 3539 and TF 7405 3529. A narrow ditch is present parallel to it along its southwest side. This bank and ditch forms part of the boundary between an area of park and woodland surrounding Fring Hall. The hall was constructed in 1807 and both it and its surrounding parkland are shown on Bryant’s 1826 Map of Norfolk (S2) and the 1838 Fring tithe map (S3). This area of woodland was not present in 1838 and had a curved western boundary on the second edition 6 inch to the mile Ordnance Survey map (S4). Consequently it is likely that the straight boundary between the woodland and the park, which the bank follows, is of 20th century origin.
