NHER 68055 (Cropmark and Earthwork record) - Partially levelled earthworks of possible medieval to post medieval ridge and furrow and field boundary

January 2024. Wendling Beck and Fransham Aerial Investigation and Mapping (AIM) Project.
Possible ridge and furrow and a field boundary of medieval to post medieval date are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs (S1) and visualised lidar data (S2). On the most recent available Google Earth aerial photography (S3), the ridges appear to have been levelled. The possible ridge and furrow is only visible on a single aerial photograph from 1944 (S1). Aerial photographs from 1946 show that it appears to have been levelled by that date (S4). It could instead be the more ephemeral marks of recent agricultural activity. The possible field boundary, which is slightly at odds with the alignment of the ridge and furrow, is visible as a low earthwork on visualised lidar data, from a survey flown in 2017 (S2).
