Full Description
July 2014. Lothingland, Lowestoft and North Suffolk Coast and Heaths National Mapping Programme.
The cropmarks of boundaries, mainly relating to the Mutford Big Wood ancient woodland (MUD 009) are visible on aerial photographs (S1-S3). Only those not depicted on the Ordnance Survey First Edition map (S4) are included within the mapping. The northern curvilinear boundary appears to have also acted as a drainage ditch, but the width of the feature and the presence of an accompanying bank indicate that it formed a relatively major boundary. Fragmentary ditches of unknown date have been included within this site (S3).
