Full Description
March 2015. Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty National Mapping Programme.
An undated linear bank, probably a former boundary, is visible as an earthwork on Leiston Common on aerial photographs taken in 1946 (S1). It probably relates to the use of the common, in which case a post medieval (or medieval to post medieval) date is likely. More recent imagery on Google Earth suggests that it has since been levelled.
S. Tremlett (Norfolk Historic Environment Service), 26th March 2015.
