Full Description

July 2014. Lothingland, Lowestoft and North Suffolk Coast and Heaths National Mapping Programme.
Earthwork ditches and possible banks are visible on aerial photographs (S1), on land to the east of Mutford Hall, Mutford. It is likely that they represent post medieval drainage ditches, although they are not depicted on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map (S2), and may relate to former earthworks surrounding the hall.
