NHER 67249 (Cropmark and Earthwork record) - Earthworks of probable post medieval peat extraction

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

Shallow rectilinear earthworks, probably the remains of post medieval peat cuttings, are visible as earthworks on visualised lidar data. Several of these fields are described as ‘doles’ in the Acle Tithe Apportionment. As the lidar survey was flown relatively recently (2017-18) it is probable that the earthworks still survive.

Shallow rectilinear earthworks, probably the remains of post medieval peat cuttings, are visible as earthworks on visualised lidar data (S1). Several of these fields are described as ‘doles’ in the Acle Tithe Apportionment (S2). As the lidar survey was flown relatively recently (2017-18) it is probable that the earthworks still survive.
