NHER 66298 (Cropmark and Earthwork record) - Low earthworks of parish boundary of post medieval (and possibly medieval) date

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 a parish boundary, of post medieval date but potentially of medieval origin, is visible as low, fragmentary earthworks on visualised lidar data. It is also depicted on an early 20th century map. The boundary lies between the modern parishes of Beeston with Bittering and Beetley. As the lidar survey was flown relatively recently (2017) it is likely that the earthworks still survive.
