Monument record ADT 090 - Fragmentary and dispersed multi-period cropmarks
Please read our guidance about the use of Suffolk Historic Environment Record data.
Summary
The cropmarks of multiple phases of fragmentary field systems, trackways and possible enclosures are visible on aerial photographs. The date of these features is likely to be late prehistoric and Roman in date, although some elements may be medieval or later. Parts of the ditch systems appear to continue into ADT 003 and ADT 099. Some of these cropmarks were previously recorded under ADT 004 and ADT 035.
