NHER 66911 (Cropmark and Earthwork record) - Low earthwork of part of the parish boundary between Gressenhall and Wendling

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

Part of the parish boundary between Gressenhall and Wendling, which is of at least post medieval but potentially earlier date, is visible as a low earthwork ditch on visualised lidar data. It corresponds with the line of the boundary depicted on a late 19th century Ordnance Survey map. As the lidar survey was flown relatively recently (2017) it is probable that the earthwork still survives.

Full Description

September 2023. Wendling Beck and Fransham Aerial Investigation and Mapping (AIM) Project.
Part of the parish boundary between Gressenhall and Wendling, which is of at least post medieval but potentially earlier date, is visible as a low earthwork ditch on visualised lidar data (S1). It corresponds with the line of the boundary depicted on the Ordnance Survey 1st edition 6 inch map (S2). As the lidar survey was flown relatively recently (2017) it is probable that the earthwork still survives.
