Full Description
August 2023. Wendling Beck and Fransham Aerial Investigation and Mapping (AIM) Project.
Possible ridge and furrow and a field boundary of a medieval to post medieval date are visible as earthworks (since levelled) on aerial photographs (S1). The field boundary can be seen clearly as an earthwork S1 whilst the possible ridge and furrow is only faintly visible as low earthwork. The features have presumably been levelled as the features are no longer visible as earthworks by the 1970s (S2) and not visible on recent aerial photographs (S3).
