Full Description

January 2014. Field visit.
A L-shaped bank and ditch. The bank is 3m wide and 0.3m tall. The ditch is 3m and 0.3m deep.
It is probably a boundary feature for the woodland shown on the Ordnance Survey 1st edition 6 inch map (S1).
D. Robertson (HES), 31 July 2014.

December 2017. 'Brecks from Above' and Breckland National Mapping Programme.
The post medieval woodland boundary described above is visible at this location and extending much further to the north and northeast on imagery from a recent lidar survey (S2). As described, the boundary is depicted on the Ordnance Survey 1st edition 6 inch map (S1), and as a consequence it has not been mapped by the project.
S. Tremlett (Norfolk Historic Environment Service), 20th December 2017.
