May 2015. Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty National Mapping Programme.
It was not possible to positively identify any of the features described above from the available aerial photographs, however, there is a possibility that archaeological cropmarks are visible within the same field on one set of photographs (S5). Since the cropmarks were so indistinct and fragmentary they have not been mapped, however.
