NHER 56082 (Monument record) - Pit of unknown date

The Norfolk Heritage Explorer is a filtered version of the Norfolk HER intended for casual research. Please contact us to consult the full record.

Summary

The earthwork of an undated pit was identified during a rapid earthwork identification survey. Although the locational information available from the survey is approximate, it is likely that the pit is the same as that visible as an earthwork 75m to the southwest on imagery from a 2015 lidar survey. It is possible that it is a marl pit.

March 2019. Breckland National Mapping Programme.
The undated pit, possibly a marl pit, described above is probably the same as that visible as an earthwork 75m to the southwest on imagery from a 2015 lidar survey (S2). However, due to the slight uncertainty, the Monument polygon has been extended to include both locations [1]. The pit is obscured by plantation cover on the most recent aerial photographs consulted by the project, but given the recent date of the lidar survey it is likely that the earthwork still survives.
