Please read our guidance about the use of Suffolk Historic Environment Record data.
Summary
The cropmarks of fragmentary and multi-phase field boundaries and enclosures are visible on aerial photographs. The site also includes parchmarks suggesting a possible embanked or compacted route into the field (note the proximity of the medieval embanked causeway leading to Leiston Abbey (LCS 144). Although it is possible that it relates to a more recent farm access route.
