Full Description
April 2024. Wendling Beck and Fransham Aerial Investigation and Mapping (AIM) Project.
An earthwork bank, which most likely relates to a probable post medieval field boundary, is visible as a low earthwork on visualised lidar data (S1). As the lidar survey was flown relatively recently (2017) it is likely that the feature still survives. Although the feature most likely dates to the post medieval period, an earlier, medieval date cannot be ruled out. The feature is not recorded on the historic maps such as S2 and S3.
