Full Description
July 2022. Aylsham and Brampton Aerial Investigation and Mapping (AIM) Project.
A series of fragmented linear ditch features of a probable medieval to post medieval date, are seen as cropmarks on aerial photographs (S1-S2). The features most likely relate to a series of former field boundaries possibly forming part of a field system. The cropmarks of post medieval boundaries recorded on the readily available historic maps (for example S3) are also visible on the consulted sources. These features have not been mapped as they are recorded in good detail on the historic maps. An area of dense geological cropmarks can be seen across the area and its possible that some of the mapped features may be natural in origin. Due to a lack of control points when georeferencing S1, the foreground of the aerial photograph was unbale to be georeferenced. As a result of this, the features centred approximately TG 2383 2756 may extend further to the west than their mapped extent.
