Full Description
February 2025. Wendling Beck and Fransham Aerial Investigation and Mapping (AIM) Project.
The cropmarks of probable boundary ditches of an unknown, but possible medieval to post medieval date are visible on aerial photographs (S1-S2). The features may relate to medieval to post medieval field boundaries. It is also possible that some of the features may relate to post medieval to modern drainage ditches. The cropmarks of post medieval field boundaries recorded on the readily available historic maps (such as S3 and S4) are also visible across the area on the consulted sources (S1-S2). These features have not been mapped as they are recorded in good detail in the historic maps.
