Full Description
January 2014. Lothingland, Lowestoft and North Suffolk Coast and Heaths National Mapping Programme.
An area of undated, but potentially medieval to post medieval field system cropmarks are visible on aerial photographs (S1-S3). The site is centred on TM 5291 9654. The relationship of some of these cropmarks with the surrounding landscape would suggest that at least some of the boundaries relate to the medieval to post medieval period although some, in particular those aligned diagonally to the modern landscape are more likely to be earlier in date. It is not possible within the current project scope to attempt to refine the phasing of these fragmentary and overlying field systems. It is possible that some of the ditch-like features relate to underlying drainage.
