Monument record LUD 070 - Cropmark of possible ring ditches

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

Summary

The cropmarks of a conjoined pair of ring ditches of uncertain date and interpretation are visible on aerial photographs. Although barrows seem the most likely interpretation, it is feasible that they relate to later agricultural features associated with the surrounding field system (ASY 002) or domestic structures, such as roundhouses of possible later prehistoric or Roman date.

Full Description

January 2014. Lothingland, Lowestoft and North Suffolk Coast and Heaths National Mapping Programme.
The cropmarks of a pair of conjoined ring ditches, possibly representing the remains of Bronze Age round barrows, are visible on aerial photographs (S1). The site is centred on TM 4965 0047. Although barrows seem the most likely interpretation, it is feasible that they relate to later agricultural features associated with the surrounding field system (ASY 002) or domestic structures, such as roundhouses of possible later prehistoric or Roman date.
