NHER 66917 (Cropmark and Earthwork record) - Low earthworks of post medieval field boundaries

September 2025. Wendling Beck and Fransham Aerial Investigation and Mapping (AIM) Project.
Probable post medieval field boundaries are visible as low earthworks on visualised lidar data (S1), from a survey flown in 2017. They appear to connect to additional boundaries, also visible as low earthworks on the lidar visualisations, which are depicted on the Tithe Map (S2) and as a consequence have not been mapped by the project. As the lidar survey was flown relatively recently, it is likely that the earthworks still survive, although they may be so low as to be effectively imperceptible at ground level.

October 2017-March 2018. Geophysical Survey.
Magnetometer survey of site on proposed route of onshore cable for Norfolk Vanguard and Boreas Offshore Wind Farms.
Although the majority of the subsequently identified earthworks fall within the area examined no trace of these features or any associated sub-surface remains was identified.
See NHER 66060 for further details.

October 2020-June 2021. Trial Trenching.
Evaluation of site on proposed route of onshore cable for Norfolk Vanguard and Boreas Offshore Wind Farms.
This work identified an east-to-west aligned ditch that appear to continue the line of one of these earthworks but unfortunately no dating evidence was recovered.
