Full Description
April 2019. Breckland National Mapping Programme.
A large fragmented earthwork bank is seen on visualised lidar data (S1). The bank is aligned approximately north west- south east and most likely relates to a large boundary bank mapped on the Tithe, Frist and Second edition Ordnance Survey maps (S2-S4). The bank is most likely post medieval in date and is in close relation to Methwold Warren (NHER 55577) to the south and The Fossditch earthworks (NHER 1089) to the east.
