NHER 68027 (Cropmark and Earthwork record) - Earthwork and cropmark banks and ditches of an unknown, but possible Roman or post medieval to modern date

January 2024. Wendling Beck and Fransham Aerial Investigation and Mapping (AIM) Project.
Earthwork and cropmark banks and ditches of an unknown, but possible Roman or post medieval to modern date are seen on aerial photographs and visualised lidar data (S1-S3). The features may relate to post medieval to modern drainage. A large amount of Roman finds have been previously recorded from across the area (NHER 4188). It has been previously suggested that the volume finds may indicate the site of Roman settlement. It is therefore possible the features mapped as part of this project could relate to the site of Roman settlement. The earthworks appear to be very wide on the visualised lidar data. The features may have been spread by agricultural ploughing. As the lidar survey was flown relatively recently (2017), it is likely that the features still survive as very low earthworks.
