Description

The project was developed to be the initial stage in an assessment of the character and significance of field and stock management systems in the Eastern Region. It assessed a single study area (106 sq km), straddling the eastern Norfolk and Suffolk border. The project re-analysed and assessed data derived from comprehensive and extensive surveys utilising aerial sources (aerial photographs and lidar) in combination with data from other sources. It devised an approach based on the use of a Geographic Information System (GIS) in which information regarding the nature, source and reliability of dating evidence was added as metadata to feature-level mapping. This allowed data to be regrouped and reclassified in ways that diverged from existing record groups. Phasing and dating for key parts of the complex field systems recorded from cropmarks in the area was attempted. The effectiveness of the project methodology, and its applicability to other areas, was also assessed.
