NHER 61004 (Monument record) - Quarry in Zig Zag Covert

March 2013. Rapid Identification Survey. HA 41.
A large, irregularly shaped hollow. It is up to 40m wide, 120m long, and has an undulating base (including mounds and hollows). It is likely it was excavated as a quarry for sand and gravel.
In the base of the quarry, towards its east end, is a concrete pillar laying on its side. The pillar is 0.8m tall with a diameter of 0.56m; it has wider base which is 0.34m thick and has a diameter of 0.95m. Sheet iron survives around the pillar, suggesting it may have been made in a barrel. Although it does not have a spigot mortar pin, the pillar looks like a spigot mortar pedestal.

May 2019. Breckland National Mapping Programme.
A hollow of aprobable post-medieval date is seen as an earthwork on visualised lidar data (S1).
This earthwork has not been transcribed separately - the transcription has been recorded as part of NHER 30470 along with further features relating to Lynford Park and Gardens identified from the Aerial Investigation and Mapping (AIM) survey. The mapped extent of this existing HER record has however been amended to correlate with the location and extent of the feature on the lidar imagery [1].
