Full Description

April 2015. Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Beauty National Mapping Programme.
The cropmarks of a possible enclosures and associated ditches and boundaries are visible on aerial photographs (S1-S2). A Roman date for the main components of the site could be suggested by finds in the area (see EKE 020), however it is possible that many of the features relate to post medieval drainage. The indistinct nature of the cropmarks on the aerial photographs makes it hard to confidently distinguish drains from archaeological features.
