NHER 63632 (Monument record) - Possible undated bank

The Norfolk Heritage Explorer is a filtered version of the Norfolk HER intended for casual research. Please contact us to consult the full record.

Summary

A possible fragmentary curvilinear bank of unknown date may be visible as a low and very indistinct earthwork on visualised lidar data. It is located in an area that was once part of (or adjoined to) Cranwich Heath and within the bounds of Methwold rabbit warren (NHER 55577). It may have been contemporary with other boundaries mapped in the vicinity such as NHER 63279 50m to the northeast. As the lidar survey was flown relatively recently (2015), it is probable that the earthworks still survive.

Full Description

May 2020. Breckland National Mapping Programme.
A possible fragmentary curvilinear bank of unknown date may be visible as a low and very indistinct earthwork on visualised lidar data (S1). It is located in an area that was once part of (or adjoined to) Cranwich Heath and within the bounds of Methwold rabbit warren (NHER 55577). It may have been contemporary with other boundaries mapped in the vicinity such as NHER 63279 50m to the northeast. As the lidar survey was flown relatively recently (2015), it is probable that the earthworks still survive. The earthworks are so low and indistinct, however, that they may be difficult to identify on the ground.
