Full Description
January 2020. Breckland National Mapping Programme.
A possible rectangular pit with surrounding banks of an unknown date is seen as an earthwork (which has since been levelled) on aerial photographs (S1). It is possible that the feature maybe a Second World War military training feature, post medieval parks and gardens feature possibly relating to Elveden hall (ELV 009), a modern feature created from grass cutting or a natural feature. The feature has been mapped by extent due to the uncertainty as to whether the feature is archaeological, modern or natural in origin. The feature is seen as a low earthwork in the 1945 (S1) and has been levelled by the 1946 (S2).
