Full Description
October 2026. South-West Suffolk Claylands Aerial Investigation and Mapping (AI&M) Project.
A rectilinear ditch visible as an earthwork on 1940s aerial photographs (S1-S2) is of unknown date and origin but could represent a boundary or trackway of medieval to post medieval date. Alternatively, it could be of more recent origin. It is not visible on visualised lidar data from a survey flown in 2022 (S3) and has presumably been levelled.
