Full Description
July 2014. Lothingland, Lowestoft and North Suffolk Coast and Heaths National Mapping Programme.
Undated linear ditches are visible as cropmarks on aerial photographs (S1-S3), on land to the south of Black Street, Gisleham.
These features are likely to represent field boundaries and at least one trackway, possibly of Roman origin, as some Roman finds have been made in the vicinity (SHER GSE 004 and GSE 011), although some are depicted on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map (S4), along with linear cropmarks in the field to the east, which have not been mapped.
Several possible ring ditches are also visible in this field, and have been recorded separately (SHER GSE 079).
