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

The low earthworks of possible post medieval field boundaries are seen on visualised lidar data. As the survey was flown relatively recently (2017) it is likely that the features still survive as low earthworks.

Full Description

April 2024. Wendling Beck and Fransham Aerial Investigation and Mapping (AIM) Project.
The low earthworks of possible medieval to post medieval field boundaries are seen on visualised lidar data (S1). As the survey was flown relatively recently (2017) it is likely that the features still survive as low earthworks. The date of the features is unknown. A post medieval date for the features is possible. However, an earlier, medieval date cannot be ruled out. The possible field boundaries are not recorded on the readily accessible historic maps (such as S2).
