Full description
April 2013. Rapid Identification Survey. HA 51 and 53.
Two ditches, defining the eastern and western boundaries of Pumphouse Plantation, Lynford Park, as shown on (S1) and (S2). Both feed into a pond at their northern ends.
The eastern ditch is curved and about 50m long. It is up to 7m wide and up to 1m deep.
The western ditch is slightly sinuous and about 190m long. It is up to 6m wide and 0.7m deep. A short section of ditch located to the east feeds into it (this is about 15m long).

May 2019. Breckland National Mapping Programme.
Two ditches of possible post-medieval date are seen as an earthwork on visualised lidar data (S3).
These earthworks have not been transcribed separately - the transcription has been recorded as part of NHER 30470 along with further features relating to Lynford Park and Gardens identified from the Aerial Investigation and Mapping (AIM) survey. The mapped extent of this existing HER record has however been amended to correlate with the location and extent of the feature on the lidar imagery [1].
