Full Description
February 2017. 'Brecks from Above' and Breckland National Mapping Programme.
The ephemeral earthworks of undated hollow way and bank are faintly visible on the 0.5m resolution Lidar data (S1), however the lack of clear definition means that it has not been mapped in detail. The route appears to be a relatively old as it appears to underlie many other aspects of the landscape, potentially including the Pilgrim’s Walk (NHER 5001), reputed to be a medieval route. However it must be noted that the linear route visible on the lidar does pass the edge of Limekiln Clump, marked as a lime kiln on the 19th-century Tithe Map and may relate to access to this site. The relationship with the possible cultivation ridges to the north (NHER 61978) is unclear, although it possibly truncates them.
