Full Description
December 2023. Wendling Beck and Fransham Aerial Investigation and Mapping (AIM) Project.
Sections of a probable post medieval parish boundary are seen as cropmarks on aerial photographs (S1). The feature follows the alignment of the parish boundary between the parishes of Great Dunham and Little Dunham. The alignment of the parish boundary is also depicted on the readily available historic maps (S2-S5). The parish boundary is likely to be post medieval in date. However, an earlier medieval date cannot be ruled out.
