Two undated parallel banks are visible as earthworks on imagery from a lidar survey flown in 2015 (S1). They are not visible on 1940s aerial photographs (such as S2) and may be modern. The banks lie just to the south of the Brandon-Thetford railway line (NHER 13571), and could be associated with it in some way. As the lidar survey was flown fairly recently, it is likely that the earthworks still survive; alternatively, they could be insubstantial, temporary features, which just look like earthworks on the lidar imagery.
