October 2021. Aylsham and Brampton Aerial Investigation and Mapping (AIM) Project.
The cropmarks of a previously recorded (see above) post medieval trackway can be seen on aerial photographs (S3-S4). The feature most likely relates to a former post medieval trackway visible on the historic maps (S5-S7). The trackway is recorded in good detail on the historic maps and has therefore not been mapped as part of this project. The monument polygon has been updated to show the extent of the feature visible on the consulted aerial photographs.
