Full Description
August 2004. Walkover Survey.
Rapid Earthwork Identification Survey following destumping (Compartment 3204a).
Three parallel post-medieval parish boundary banks and stones.
See report (S1) for further details.
D. Gurney (NLA), 27 August 2004. Amended by P. Watkins (HES), 13 July 2015.
November 2016. 'Brecks from Above' and Breckland National Mapping Programme.
The post-medieval banks described above are visible as earthworks on lidar imagery (S2). As they are aligned with the parish boundary and a modern track, and in the case of the central and southern bank depicted on historic Ordnance Survey maps (S3), they have not been mapped. The polygon defining their extent, however, has been amended to more closely match the location of the features as visible on the lidar [1]. The lidar survey was flown in 2015, and it is very likely that the banks still survive.
S. Tremlett (Norfolk Historic Environment Service), 9 November 2016.
