Full Description
August 2021. Aylsham and Brampton Aerial Investigation and Mapping (AIM) Project.
A possible former post medieval boundary is seen as a low earthwork (which has since been levelled) on aerial photographs (S2). The feature consists of a low earthwork bank. The area surrounding the feature can be seen as woodland on earlier aerial photographs (S1) and historic maps (S4). The woodland surrounding the feature has been removed by the 1970s (S2). It is most likely that the feature relates to a former post medieval boundary not recorded on the historic maps. The bank feature has been levelled by the 1980s (S3).
