Full Description
June 2024. Wendling Beck and Fransham Aerial Investigation and Mapping (AIM) Project.
The low earthworks of possible ridge and furrow, of a probable medieval to post medieval date, are visible on aerial photographs taken in 1946 (S1). The earthworks are not visible on the relatively recent (2017) visualised lidar data (S2) and are presumed to have been levelled. It is also possible that the features may have related to modern agricultural processes rather than ridge and furrow.
