Full Description
September 2015. Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty National Mapping Programme.
Undated cropmarks of possible field boundaries, a possible trackway and enclosure are visible on aerial photographs (S1)-(S3), surrounding Oakhill Plantation, Sutton. A curvilinear cropmark is also visible towards the centre of the field, which may represent a fragment of a former ring ditch, although it is likely to be geological in nature and has been recorded with a hint of caution. Concentrations of Iron Age and Roman pottery (SHER SUT 051 and SUT 208) and Roman and Saxon objects (SHER SUT 123) have been recovered from this field.
