Summary

Bank and ditches of an unknown date are seen as earthworks and cropmarks on aerial photographs and visualised lidar data. The ditches at TL 7971 9395 and the bank at TL 7975 9403 most likely relate to former boundaries with the bank feature seen on the Tithe, Frist and Second edition Ordnance Survey (OS) maps. At TL 7981 9391 the banks and ditches are aligned approximately north-south and may relate to a former trackway seen on the Frist and Second edition OS maps. The banks and ditches may be post medieval in date and are in close proximity to possible medieval field boundaries to the east (NHER 63239).

Map

March 2019. Breckland National Mapping Programme.
Bank and ditches of an unknown date are seen as earthworks and cropmarks on aerial photographs and visualised lidar data (S1-S2). The ditches at TL 7971 9395 and the bank at TL 7975 9403 most likely relate to former boundaries with the bank feature seen on the Tithe, Frist and Second edition Ordnance Survey (OS) maps (S3-S5). At TL 7981 9391 the banks and ditches are aligned approximately north-south and may relate to a former trackway seen on the Frist and Second edition OS maps. There is an area of possible earthworks to the east (centred at TL 7993 9387) of the mapped features seen on S1; however these have not been mapped as they appear very low on the aerial photographs and may be natural or agricultural in origin The banks and ditches may be post medieval in date and are in close proximity to possible medieval field boundaries to the east (NHER 63239).
