Full Description
January 2016. 'Brecks from Above' and Breckland National Mapping Programme.
A small group of narrow earthwork banks and ditches have tentatively identified on has been identified on aerial photographs (S1) and on the 0.5m resolution Lidar data (S2). However the archaeological significance and date of them is uncertain, especially the northern components that were recorded as surviving as possible earthworks from the lidar (S2), despite the area seemingly having been cleared of woodland and show signs of land improvement and newly seeded vegetation in 2012 (S3) and 2014 (S4). Which could suggest that any ‘earthworks’ relate to recent activities in the land parcel.
