Full Description
April 2025. Wendling Beck and Fransham Aerial Investigation and Mapping (AIM) Project.
Low earthwork banks, probably the remains of field boundaries of post medieval date, are visible on visualised lidar data, from a survey flown in 2017 (S1). They are also visible as low earthworks on earlier aerial photographs (S2-S3). The boundaries conform to the pattern of enclosure depicted on historical maps, such as the Ordnance Survey 1st edition 6 inch map (S4). As the lidar survey was flown relatively recently, it is probable that the earthworks still survive.
