Full Description

March 2017. 'Brecks from Above' and Breckland National Mapping Programme.
A linear quarry pit is visible as an earthwork on imagery from a lidar survey flown in 2015 (S1). Its date is unknown but a post-medieval origin is feasible. Lynford Swell Pit (NHER 5131), itself a post-medieval gravel pit, lies 35m to the southwest. It is possible that this feature was one of those noted by the recent 'Flint in the Brecks' survey (S2).
S. Tremlett (Norfolk Historic Environment Service), 31 March 2017.
