NHER 63633 (Cropmark and Earthwork record) - Possible undated bank, road or track

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

A possible bank, road or track, of unknown date, is visible as a low, indistinct earthwork on visualised lidar data. If it is a feature of archaeological significance, which is not certain, it is one of a number of banks, roads or tracks recorded on what was formerly Cranwich Heath. For most of these, a medieval to post medieval seems probable. At its west end, the features appears to meet or join one of these, NHER 63259. As the lidar survey was flown relatively recently (2015), it is likely that the earthwork still survives.

Full Description

August 2020. Breckland National Mapping Programme.
A possible bank, road or track, of unknown date, is visible as a low, indistinct earthwork on visualised lidar data (S1). If it is a feature of archaeological significance, which is not certain, it is one of a number of banks, roads or tracks recorded on what was formerly Cranwich Heath. In general, a medieval to post medieval date seems probable for these features. At its west end, the bank or road/track appears to meet or join one of them, NHER 63259. As the lidar survey was flown relatively recently (2015), it is likely that the earthwork still survives.
