Landscape and Archaeological Assessment
Landscape Classification
This sheet represents a coastal lowland and offshore banks landscape, characterised by Norfolk coastal strip, ports, dunes, marsh-edge settlements and North Sea sandbanks.
Archaeological Landscape
The primary archaeological theme is Norfolk coast, landing, port, sandbank, coastal erosion and wetland-edge archaeology. Enhanced prediction from Roman-road, ridgeway, hillfort/enclosure, villa/estate, road-convergence, coastal, marsh-edge and river-crossing logic.
High Visibility Locations
Great Yarmouth/Lowestoft Coastal Port Belt, Norfolk Sandbank/Shipwreck Zone
Terrain Archaeology
The terrain is interpreted using
hachures.
Relief is represented by hachures, allowing inference of ridgeways, high points, spur ends, valley approaches and likely route/crossing logic.
Main Geographic Information
Sheet LXVII N.W. / N° LXVII N.W. is visible in the upper-right margin and sheet number 67 is visible at lower-left. The sheet is a coastal / marine quarter-style sheet dominated by the Norfolk-Suffolk coast, Great Yarmouth, Lowestoft, Breydon Water, Yarmouth Roads and offshore shoals. Bounds are reconstructed from visible geography and adjacent Sheet LXVI relationship; engraved graticule labels are faint or not reliably readable.
Main Landscape Features
Sheet 67 shows a mixed area of coastal lowland and offshore banks Norfolk coastal strip, ports, dunes, marsh-edge settlements and North Sea sandbanks . The map is useful for studying early 19th Century historic settlement patterns, Roman road alignments, early archaeological site indentification, how roads, old tracks, lanes and paths, villages, waterways and field systems related to the wider nineteenth-century landscape.
