Monument record CSA 017 - Soilmarks of possible field system

Please read our guidance about the use of Suffolk Historic Environment Record data.

Summary

Remnants of a possible former field system are visible as soilmarks on aerial photographs on land to the south of Oak Wood, Capel St Andrew. The soilmarks appear to form a rectilinear patten, but it is difficult to be certain that the marks are archaeological since they are only clearly visible on one set of photographs and are showing in a similar way to the agricultural ‘envelope pattern’ marks in the same field.

Full Description

Remains of rectilinear pattern of field boundaries (S1).

April 2015. Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty National Mapping Programme.
Remnants of a possible former field system are visible as soilmarks (S1)-(S2) on aerial photographs on land to the south of Oak Wood, Capel St Andrew. The soilmarks appear to form a rectilinear pattern, but it is difficult to be certain that the marks are archaeological since they are only clearly visible on one set of photographs (S1) and are showing in a similar way to the agricultural ‘envelope pattern’ marks in the same field. They have been recorded with a note of caution.
