August 2019. Breckland National Mapping Programme.
A small hollow of an unknown date is seen as an earthwork on visualised lidar data (S1). The small hollow may have related to a post-medieval extraction pit or a modern feature and is not seen on the historic maps consulted as part of this project (S2-S4). The pit is in close proximity to Lynford Park and gardens to the west (NHER 30470). The mapped extent of the site has been amended to correlate with the location and extent of the feature on the lidar imagery [1].
