Full Description
February 2025. Wendling Beck and Fransham Aerial Investigation and Mapping (AIM) Project.
The earthworks of a probable post medieval boundary bank, most likely relating to a former field boundary, are visible on visualised lidar data (S1). As the lidar survey was flown relatively recently (2017) it is likely that the feature still survives as an earthwork. The feature is not depicted on any readily accessible historical maps (such as the Ordnance Survey 1st edition 6 inch map), but fits the same general pattern of enclosure, suggesting that although an earlier origin cannot be ruled out, the feature is likely of a post medieval date.
