Full Description
December 2023. Wendling Beck and Fransham Aerial Investigation and Mapping (AIM) Project.
Possible ridge and furrow, probably of post medieval date, is visible as earthworks on 1940s aerial photographs (S1-S2). Its identification is not certain, and the ridges could instead relate to drainage or be temporary agricultural marks. More recent visualised lidar data (S3) and aerial photographs (S4) show that the earthworks have been levelled.
