Full Description
2010. Field visit.
Two parallel banks identified.
D. Robertson (HES), 27 June 2011.
May 2011. Field visit.
Two parallel banks were visited and rapidly recorded. The banks are aligned roughly east to west, 4-5m wide and up to 0.2m high.
The banks appear to be the northern and southern boundaries of Whitelayer Plantation, as shown on (S1) and labelled on (S2).

May 2020. Breckland National Mapping Programme.
The boundary banks described above are visible as earthworks on visualised lidar data (S3). As described above, they mark the boundary of a plantation depicted on historical maps (including the Ordnance Survey 1st edition 6 inch map, S2). As a consequence, they have not been mapped by the project. As the lidar survey was flown relatively recently (2015), it is probable that the earthworks still survive.
