NHER 66922 (Cropmark and Earthwork record) - Earthwork of probable post medieval field boundary

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 probable post medieval field boundary is visible as a low earthwork on visualised lidar data. Its western end may correspond with a field boundary depicted on a 19th century map. As the lidar survey was flown relatively recently (2017) it is likely that the earthwork still survives.

Full Description

August 2023. Wendling Beck and Fransham Aerial Investigation and Mapping (AIM) Project.
A probable post medieval field boundary is visible as a low earthwork on visualised lidar data (S1). This date is suggested because it fits the pattern of enclosure depicted on 19th century maps (such as the Ordnance Survey 1st edition 6 inch, S2). Its western end may correspond with part of a field boundary depicted on Hoe Enclosure map (S3). As the lidar survey was flown quite recently (2017), it is likely that the earthwork still survives.
