Monument record PSG 073 - Earthworks and cropmarks of post medieval track or boundary and probable drainage features

October 2026. South-West Suffolk Claylands Aerial Investigation and Mapping (AI&M) Project.
A narrow linear trackway or double-ditched boundary, probably of post medieval date, is visible as an earthwork and cropmark on aerial photographs (S1-S3) and visualised lidar data (S4). It is likely to be associated with a path shown here on historical Ordnance Survey maps (such as S5), and/or with a tree avenue depicted here on Hodskinson’s 1783 Map of Suffolk (S6, recorded previously as PSG 007). The trackway appears to still be in use on the 1940s aerial photographs (S1-S2). Other features visible to each side of the boundary or trackway are likely to be drainage features. Visualised lidar data from a survey flown in 2022 (S4) shows that most of the features formerly visible as earthworks have been levelled, but that some still survive, including a linear depression along the line of the trackway or boundary.
