Full Description
January 2014. Lothingland, Lowestoft and North Suffolk Coast and Heaths National Mapping Programme.
A probable rectilinear structure, likely to be of medieval and/or post medieval date, is visible as earthworks on aerial photographs (S1)-(S4), centred at TM 4818 9776. The earthworks have since been largely or wholly levelled; the site appears as a dark soilmark on a later aerial photograph (S5). Medieval finds have been recovered from the surrounding area (SHER HRF 009, MSF17099), and the site is adjacent to the medieval to post medieval manorial site of Herringfleet Hall (HRF 014), which lies to its west and south. A trackway or substantial ditch – perhaps a hollow way – runs along the east side of the structure. Undated linear ditches in the field to the northeast (SOL 050) may be contemporary, related features.
