Abstract:
Breckland is a distinctive region of East Anglia straddling the Norfolk and Suffolk border. It has long been known as an area of high archaeological potential in terms of the survival of earthwork sites, in an area of the country where such remains are rare. This report collates and synthesises the results from Stage 1 of an Aerial Investigation and Mapping (AIM; formerly National Mapping Programme [NMP])project, which investigated 96 sq km of central Breckland. It used aerial photographs and, crucially, data from a new lidar survey, to discover, interpret, map and record archaeological sites across the project area, ranging in date from the Neolithic to the Cold War. It covered an area (of 75 sq km) for which an interpretative survey of aerial photographs and lidar - 'Brecks from Above' - was already taking place, as part of the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) Landscape Partnership Project 'Breaking New Ground'. The project brought the survey up to Historic England's AIM standards, by facilitating and funding the loan and survey of aerial photographs held by the Historic England Archive (HEA). It also funded the completion of an additional 21 sq km. The resulting datasets will be an important resource for those researching, managing and making decisions about the historic environment of the Breckland region.
