Full Description
June 2023. Wendling Beck and Fransham Aerial Investigation and Mapping (AIM) Project.
Probable medieval to post medieval field boundaries are seen as earthworks (since levelled) on aerial photographs (S1). The features consist of earthwork banks and ditches which most likely relate to medieval to post medieval field boundaries. The features can be seen as earthworks in the 1940s (S1) and have been levelled by the 1970s (S2), with some of the levelled features visible as cropmarks on S2. The features are not recorded on the readily available historic maps such as the Ordnance Survey 1st edition 6 inch map (S3).
