Monument record LCS 093 - Fragment of Post Medieval sea bank.

A fragment of sea bank, c 400m long, can be seen as an earthwork on Minsmere Level on 1945 aerial photographs (S1). It is much less clearly defined and more fragmentary than the bank visible to the south of it (LCS 092), thus making it more likely that it is older. The bank also follows roughly the same alignment as the more southerly one suggesting that it was replaced by the 'newer' looking bank (LCS 092). The more northerly segment of bank is likely to be of post-medieval date, especially as it is not depicted on the OS county 1st series 25" map of c1884, although it could even be of medieval date.

The polygon of this site has been extended to include the location of further elements of this bank visible on aerial photographs (S2-S3), but not mapped due to lack of time and project scope.
