NHER 68549 (Cropmark and Earthwork record) - Earthwork bank, probably a field boundary of medieval to post medieval date

The Norfolk Heritage Explorer is a filtered version of the Norfolk HER intended for casual research. Please contact us to consult the full record.

Summary

A probable medieval to post medieval field boundary is visible as an earthwork on visualised lidar data, from a survey flown in 2017. Other, similar features visible in the same field on the same source correspond with field boundaries depicted on 19th-century maps and are not included in the record. As the lidar survey was flown relatively recently, it is likely that any earthworks still survive.

A probable medieval to post medieval field boundary is visible as an earthwork on visualised lidar data, from a survey flown in 2017 (S1). Other, similar features visible in the same field on the same source correspond with field boundaries depicted on 19th-century maps, such as the Tithe Map (S2) and are not included in the record. As the lidar survey was flown relatively recently, it is likely that any earthworks still survive.
