Monument record STN 139 - Undated banks in Mayes Plantation
Please read our guidance about the use of Suffolk Historic Environment Record data.
Summary
A group of undated banks within Mayes Plantation are visible as earthworks on imagery from a lidar survey flown in 2015. They lie just above the edge of the Little Ouse floodplain, and could feasibly relate to drainage, or terracing for the plantation. In both cases, a post medieval or modern date is likely.
