Full Description
February 2025. Wendling Beck and Fransham Aerial Investigation and Mapping (AIM) Project.
The earthworks of a probable post medieval boundary bank and ditch are visible on aerial photographs taken in 1946 (S1). The features are visible on relatively recent (2017) visualised lidar data (S2) and likely still survive as earthworks. The features likely date to the post medieval period, however, a medieval date for the features cannot be ruled out. It is also possible that the features could relate to post medieval to modern drainage.
