Full Description
February 2024. Wendling Beck and Fransham Aerial Investigation and Mapping (AIM) Project.
Probable medieval to post medieval field boundaries are visible as earthworks on 1940s aerial photographs (S1-S3). The features have presumably been levelled with the east the of the site subsequently developed over. Some of the features in the west of the area are visible as soilmarks and cropmarks on more recent (1971,1976 and 2022) aerial photographs (S4-S6). The features are not recorded on the readily accessible historic maps (such as S7)
