NHER 67792 (Cropmark and Earthwork record) - Earthworks of probable post medieval field boundaries

December 2023. Wendling Beck and Fransham Aerial Investigation and Mapping (AIM) Project.
Field boundaries, probably of post medieval date, are visible as low earthworks on recent (2017) visualised lidar data (S1). They are not depicted on any readily accessible historical maps (such as the Ordnance Survey 1st edition 6 inch map(S2)), but fit the same general pattern of enclosure, suggesting that although an earlier origin cannot be ruled out, they are generally of a post-medieval date. As the lidar survey was flown relatively recently (2017) it is likely that the features still survive as low earthworks. The probable post medieval field boundaries have been mapped in detail with further very low earthwork banks visible across the area on the visualised lidar data mapped by extent. It is possible that some of these features may be archaeological in origin. However, it is also possible that some of the features could be natural or relate to modern agriculture.
