NHER 52128 (Cropmark and Earthwork record) - Soilmarks of former parish boundary

March 2009. Norfolk NMP.
The soilmarks of former parish boundary bank of probable medieval to post medieval date is visible on aerial photographs running just to the south of the Keswick and Swardeston parish boundary (S1). The site is centred on TG 2107 0353. This bank, the soilmark of which is up to 7m across, is likely to have marked the line of the parish boundary, now depicted up to 25m to the north, or have ran parallel to the parish line. A narrow ditch is also visible running in between the current parish boundary and the former bank.

February-June 2022. Trial Trenching.
Evaluation of site on proposed route of Hornsea Project Three offshore wind farm onshore cable.
The trenches excavated at this location found no surviving (or at least readily identifiable) traces of this boundary bank. The only associated feature was a ditch containing a small assemblage of medieval to post-medieval finds.
