Full Description
February 1998. Walkover Survey.
Rapid Earthwork Identification Survey (Compartment 2039).
A large pit measuring 30m in diameter is probably a former marl or gravel pit. This pit was probably open during the late 19th century as it appears to correspond with a feature marked on the 1st Edition O.S 6" map.
See report (S1) for further details.
S. Howard (HES), 2 September 2011. Amended by P. Watkins (HES), 19 August 2015.
December 2018. Breckland National Mapping Programme.
A large pit of probable post medieval date is seen as an earthwork on visualised lidar data (S2). This feature most likely relates to an extraction pit and has not been mapped as part of this survey, as the feature is recorded in good detail on the Frist and Second edition Ordnance Survey maps (S3-S4).
