NHER 62098 (Monument record) - Earthworks of an undated and fragmented and/or segmented boundary bank

The Norfolk Heritage Explorer is a filtered version of the Norfolk HER intended for casual research. Please contact us to consult the full record.

Summary

The slight earthworks of an undated and fragmented and/or segmented boundary bank, which appears to incorporate some mounds – at least one of which may have originated as a barrow (NHER 62097) – are visible on the 0.5m resolution Lidar data. The bank sits within a wider area of banks and boundaries (NHER 61991), however this appears to represent a much more disturbed and potentially earlier feature in the landscape.

Full Description

February 2017. 'Brecks from Above' and Breckland National Mapping Programme.
The slight earthworks of an undated and fragmented and/or segmented boundary bank, which appears to incorporate some mounds – at least one of which may have originated as a barrow (NHER 62097) – are visible on the 0.5m resolution Lidar data (S1). This boundary is located within a wider area of boundary banks (NHER 61991) and barrows (NHER 61484).

The sections of the banks are broad in width (up to 18m) quite fragmentary and some have a ‘mound’ like appearance – although one (NHER 62097) has been recorded as possibly having originated as a mound and/or barrow. The bank sits within a wider area of banks and boundaries (NHER 61991), however this appears to represent a much more disturbed and potentially earlier feature in the landscape.
