Monument record LUD 054 - Ring ditch of uncertain origin

Please read our guidance about the use of Suffolk Historic Environment Record data.

Summary

The cropmarks of a possible ring ditch of uncertain date and interpretation are visible on aerial photographs. The site consists of an extremely broad ring ditch, seemingly partially bisected by the Yarmouth Road. The archaeological origin of this feature is uncertain and it may relate to a former pit or quarry, however the morphology of the site is broadly consistent with the sorts of ditches that surround windmill mounds.
