Full Description

March 2014. Lothingland, Lowestoft and North Suffolk Coast and Heaths National Mapping Programme.
Several undated linear ditch features including a possible trackway and at least one possible enclosure are visible as cropmarks on aerial photographs (S1-S3) on land to the east of Church Farm, Sotherton. The eastern-most possible enclosure may be a double-ditched or possibly multi-phased feature, although it also appeared to be abraded and therefore difficult to be certain of. The cropmarks to the west were harder to be certain of and these have been recorded with a note of caution.
E. Ford (Norfolk Historic Environment Service), 15th January 2014.
