Full Description
May 2018. 'Brecks from Above' and Breckland National Mapping Programme.
A small rectilinear enclosure is visible as an earthwork on aerial photographs (S1) and on imagery from a 2015 lidar survey (S2). Like other, similar enclosures mapped in the area, it is likely to be of post-medieval date and associated with warrening. The northeastern side of the enclosure is only visible on the 1971 aerial photographs and it may have been truncated by the adjacent forest ride. The remainder of the enclosure may still survive as earthworks.
