Full Description
Low bank, probably defining E boundary of Mount Plantation. Construction date unknown, but largely defines E limits of C19/C20(?) flint mining complexes BRD 134 & BRD 136.
June 2017. 'Brecks from Above' and Breckland National Mapping Programme.
The post medieval boundary bank described above is visible for much of its length as an earthwork on lidar imagery (S2). As described above, it appears to correspond with the eastern edge of Mount Plantation, as depicted on the Ordnance Survey 1st edition 6 inch map (S3); as a consequence, it has not been mapped by the project. Contrary to the earlier record for the site (see above), the post medieval flint mining recorded as BRD 136 does appear to extend beyond the boundary.
