Abstract: |
An earthwork survey was undertaken as part of the Norfolk Earthworks Survey project (NES). The 10ha complex of channels and earthworks was constructed between 1803 and 1806 on the Holkham Estate farm of John Beck. They extended for almost 1km along the Nar valley from south of the hall to west of the A1065. The lake south of the hall fed the central area, with an aqueduct taking water across the Nar to feed the layout to the south. Another feeder channel from the lake continued north of the Nar to feed a system west of the present A1065, although the main river also fed some parts of this area which was now mostly covered by woodland.
