Full Description
May 2024. Wendling Beck and Fransham Aerial Investigation and Mapping (AIM) Project.
Possible medieval to post medieval field boundaries are visible as earthworks (since levelled) on aerial photographs taken in 1946. The features are not visible on the relatively recent (2017) visualised lidar data and have presumably been levelled. The features may relate to medieval strip fields. However, it is also possible that the features may relate to post medieval field boundaries or possible post medieval to modern drainage ditches. The features are not recorded on the readily accessible historic maps such as S3 and S4.
