NHER 68243 (Cropmark and Earthwork record) - Low earthwork of probable medieval to post medieval field boundary

The Norfolk Heritage Explorer is a filtered version of the Norfolk HER intended for casual research. Please contact us to consult the full record.

Summary

A probable medieval to post medieval field boundary is visible as a low earthwork on visualised lidar data. As the lidar survey was flown relatively recently, it is probable that the earthwork still survives. The boundary may correlate with one depicted at this approximate location on early post medieval maps for this area.

Full Description

April 2024. Wendling Beck and Fransham Aerial Investigation and Mapping (AIM) Project (volunteer strand).
A probable medieval to post medieval field boundary is visible as a low earthwork on visualised lidar data (S1). As the lidar survey was flown relatively recently, it is probable that the earthwork still survives. The boundary may correlate with one depicted at this approximate location on early post medieval maps for this area, reproduced in an unpublished contractor’s report (S2).
