Please read our guidance about the use of Suffolk Historic Environment Record data.
Summary
A ring ditch with probable internal mound and postholes is visible as cropmarks on aerial photographs on land to the south of Blythburgh. It was considered most likely to be a post medieval windmill mound, although there is a small possibility that this feature could represent a Bronze Age round barrow.
