Full Description
June 2024. Wendling Beck and Fransham Aerial Investigation and Mapping (AIM) Project.
The earthworks (since levelled) of a probable medieval to post medieval field boundary are visible on aerial photographs (S1-S2). The earthworks are not visible on the relatively recent (2017) visualised lidar data and are presumed to have been levelled (S3). Although the feature likely relates to a medieval to post medieval field boundary, the possibility that the feature could relate a post medieval drainage ditch cannot be ruled out. The feature is not recorded on the readily accessible historic maps such as S4-S5
