NHER 50699 (Monument record) - Cropmarks and low earthwork of medieval to post medieval road

November 2007. Norfolk NMP.
Cropmarks of a curving ditch and bank relating to a section of former road are visible on aerial photographs (S1). The position of these cropmarks corresponds exactly to the that of a road marked on Faden’s 1797 county map (S2) and which is labelled as ‘Willow Hurn Lane’ on the 1814 Hoe enclosure map (S3). This section of road formed part of a longer route to the southeast and northwest of the cropmarks and was probably of medieval to post medieval origin.

January 2024. Wendling Beck and Fransham Aerial Investigation and Mapping (AIM) Project (volunteer strand).
The line of the medieval to post medieval road described above is visible as low earthworks on visualised lidar data (S4). It appears much wider than depicted by the NMP mapping, but the Monument Polygon defining the extent of the site has not been altered, as it is not clear how the earthworks, which may be extensively spread by ploughing, relate to the mapped cropmarks. As the lidar survey was flown relatively recently (2017), it is probably that any earthworks still survive.
