Full Description
February 2016. Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty National Mapping Programme.
A possible ring ditch, seemingly comprising multiple rings, is visible as a cropmark on aerial photographs (S1). It probably marks the site of a Bronze Age round barrow. It appears to be respected by the parish boundary, which lies adjacent to its southern side, suggesting that it still survived as an earthwork when this was established.
