Full Description
December 2023. Wendling Beck and Fransham Aerial Investigation and Mapping (AIM) Project.
A rectilinear arrangement of ditches, probably field boundaries of medieval to post medieval date, is visible as earthworks (now partially levelled) on aerial photographs (S1). The southern elements correspond with a field boundary depicted on Wendling Enclosure map (S2). As well as acting as boundaries, the ditches may also have served as drains. Visualised lidar data from a survey flown in 2017 (S3) shows parts of the site surviving as low earthworks.
