Full Description
July 2022. Aylsham and Brampton Aerial Investigation and Mapping (AIM) Project.
The cropmarks of possible medieval to post medieval boundary ditches can be seen on aerial photographs (S1-S3). It is possible that the features may relate to medieval to post medieval field boundaries. It is also possible that the fragmented ditch centred at TG 2243 2794 may have related to a medieval furlong. Although the features are thought to be medieval to post medieval in date, an earlier date for the features cannot be ruled out.
