Full Description
June 2023. Wendling Beck and Fransham Aerial Investigation and Mapping (AIM) Project.
The earthworks of possible ridge and furrow of a medieval to post medieval date are visible on visualised lidar data (S1). As the lidar survey was flown relatively recently (2017) the features likely still survive as low earthworks. The site consists of a series of north to south aligned low earthwork banks and ditches. It is possible that these features may relate to an area of possible medieval to post medieval ridge and furrow. It is also possible that the features could relate to modern agricultural activity.
