Full Description
December 2018. 'Brecks from Above' and Breckland National Mapping Programme.
A small, square or rectilinear enclosure, perhaps of post-medieval date and related to warrening, is visible as an earthwork on imagery from a lidar survey flown in 2015 (S1). It is one of a number of similar enclosures recorded across Thetford Warren (NHER 54069), and others are depicted on 19th and 20th century Ordnance Survey maps. The enclosure appears to overlie the boundary bank to its east (recorded as part of NHER 61542). A square platform located less than 10m to its south (NHER 62041) may be a contemporary feature. As the lidar survey was flown relatively recently, it is likely that the earthwork still survives.
