Monument record BRD 263 - Possible Second World War site
Please read our guidance about the use of Suffolk Historic Environment Record data.
Summary
The aerial photographs could indicate that a Second World War site existed at Ford Farm. The presence of a possible circular feature on the grass could suggest a short-lived searchlight battery, however this is not certain and all evidence could relate to recent or agricultural activity.
