Monument record TUN 045 - Earthworks of probable medieval to post medieval date
Please read our guidance about the use of Suffolk Historic Environment Record data.
Summary
The earthworks of wood banks and an oblong mound probable medieval to post medieval date are visible on aerial photographs and LIDAR imagery within Tunstall Forest. It is feasible however that the mound relates to more recent clearance activities in the forest – as it can’t be clearly distinguished on the earlier aerial photographs.
