Full Description
April 2017. 'Brecks from Above' and Breckland National Mapping Programme.
Possible ridge and furrow or cultivation/plantation ridges, of presumed post-medieval date, are visible as earthworks on imagery from a 2015 lidar survey (S1). Several blocks with varying orientations are visible. They could, for example, relate to temporary arable cultivation of the heaths, the growing of fodder crops for rabbits, or the creation of ridges for planting trees. They appear to overlie, or be overlain by, boundary ditches and banks recorded to their south and west (NHER 62073), suggesting several phases of activity taking place.
