Full Description
Large oval plantation defined by mostly surviving outer banks (S1). Marked on OS 1st edition map of 1824 (S2) and subsequent maps (earlier maps not checked). Possibly part of plantation of 1781 shown on Estate map of 1791 (S3).
July 2017. 'Brecks from Above' and Breckland National Mapping Programme.
The large oval post medieval to modern plantation bank described above is visible as an earthwork on imagery from a recent lidar survey (S4). It is depicted on historical Ordnance Survey maps, including the 2nd edition 25 inch map (S5), on which it is named 'Oval Plantation'. It has not been mapped by the project, but the polygon defining the site has been amended to accord with the lidar data.
