Full Description

August 2014. Lothingland, Lowestoft and North Suffolk Coast and Heaths National Mapping Programme.
Earthworks of possible post medieval drainage ditches are visible on aerial photographs (S1) to the east of White House Farm, Gisleham. These features are not visible on the Ordnance Survey maps of the area, and have since been levelled, but are likely to represent post medieval drainage features. They have been mapped due to their location in proximity to the moated site to the 300m west (SHER GSE 001).
