NHER 68007 (Cropmark and Earthwork record) - Cropmarks and earthworks of post medieval (possibly medieval to post medieval) field boundaries

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

Linear ditches and banks, visible as cropmarks and in a few cases as earthworks on aerial photographs and visualised lidar data, represent the remains of post medieval field boundaries. Many of the features correspond with boundaries depicted on 19th century maps. An earlier, potentially medieval origin for some elements, however, cannot be ruled out. As the lidar survey was flown relatively recently (2017) it is likely that any earthworks evident on the visualisations still survive.

Full Description

January 2024. Wendling Beck and Fransham Aerial Investigation and Mapping (AIM) Project (volunteer strand).
Linear ditches and banks, visible as cropmarks and in a few cases as earthworks on aerial photographs (S1) and visualised lidar data (S2), represent the remains of post medieval field boundaries. Many of the features correspond with boundaries depicted on 19th century maps, such as Hoe Enclosure Map (S3). An earlier, potentially medieval origin for some elements, however, cannot be ruled out. As the lidar survey was flown relatively recently (2017) it is likely that any earthworks evident on the visualisations still survive.
