Map

April 2013. Rapid Identification Survey. HA 52.
A low broad sinuous bank in Pumphouse Plantation. It is about 170m long, up to 10m wide and up to 0.3m tall. It is hard to identify and follow on the ground. It is cut by the drive leading to the Catholic Church (NHER 5153).
The alignment and location of this bank appear not to reflect the boundaries of Pumphouse Plantation. As a result, it may be a pre-plantation feature. The plantation itself is shown on 19th century maps. See (S1) and (S2).

May 2019. Breckland National Mapping Programme.
Sections of undated earthwork bank are seen on visualised lidar data (S3).
These earthworks have not been transcribed separately - the transcription has been recorded as part of NHER 30470 along with further features relating to Lynford Park and Gardens identified from the Aerial Investigation and Mapping (AIM) survey. The mapped extent of this existing HER record has however been amended to correlate with the location and extent of the feature on the lidar imagery [1].
