Full Description
January 2020. Breckland National Mapping Programme.
Multiple banks, possibly dating to the post medieval period, are seen as earthworks (which have since been levelled) on aerial photographs (S1-S2). The banks most likely relate to post medieval boundary banks and may possibly relate to post medieval park and gardens features associated with Elveden hall (ELV 009) to the north. The majority of the banks are not mapped on the First Edition Ordnance Survey (OS) map (S3); however, it is possible that the banks at TL 8245 7807 and at TL 8303 7811 may relate to trackways mapped on the First Edition OS map. The banks can be seen as earthworks in the 1940s and are presumed to have been levelled as the features are not seen on recent (2016) aerial photographs. The banks are in close proximity to a large probable boundary bank (ELV 015) and further probable post medieval boundary banks or garden features to the west (ELV 194). Due to a lack of adequate control points when rectifying the photos, the locational accuracy of the mapping may have been slightly reduced.
