A series of possible ditch features is visible on aerial photographs (S2)-(S6) on land on the Fens, Aldringham cum Thorpe. It was difficult to be certain of their nature, but it was considered likely that they represent peat cutting ditches similar to those to the south (SHER ADB 019) and they may be of medieval to post medieval origin.
