February 2018. 'Brecks from Above' and Breckland National Mapping Programme.
The post medieval plantation banks described above are visible as earthworks on imagery from a lidar survey (S2). As mentioned above, they are depicted on the Ordnance Survey 1st edition 6 inch map (S1), and as a consequence they have not been mapped by the project. They are just part of a much more extensive group of such features clearly visible on the lidar imagery.
