Full Description

June 2010. Norfolk NMP.
The cropmarks of a former road or trackway and field boundaries of probable post medieval, or medieval to post medieval, date are visible on aerial photographs to the north of Attlebridge (S1-S3). The site is centred on TG 1334 1761. None of these features were mapped due to them being depicted on historic maps, such as the 1837 Attlebridge Tithe map (S4).
S. Horlock (NMP), 25 June 2010.

October 2025. HER Enhancement: Forestry Commission Project K.
Earthworks of post medieval field boundaries recorded on the 1837 Attlebridge Tithe map (S4) and Ordnance Survey 1st edition 6" map (S6), are visible on visualised lidar data (S5). As the lidar survey was flown relatively recently (2021) it is likely the earthworks still survive. The low earthworks boundaries are visible as banks and are centred at approximately TG 1322 1759, TG 1323 1774 and TG 1348 1750.
