Full Description

July 2019. Breckland National Mapping Programme.
Two possible earthwork banks of unknown or possibly post medieval date are seen on visualised lidar data (S1). The possible bank at TL 8297 7603 is seen as a low earthwork and may relate to a post medieval boundary not marked on the First Edition Ordnance Survey map (S2). However it is possible this feature is natural in origin as it only appears faintly on the visualised lidar data. The second bank located at TL 8307 7580 is also seen as a low earthwork and may be a post medieval boundary mapped on the First Edition Ordnance Survey Map. The two possible banks are located in close proximity to parish boundary banks (WRW 077) between the parishes of West Stow and Wordwell.
