Full Description

July 2014. Lothingland, Lowestoft and North Suffolk Coast and Heaths National Mapping Programme.
An area of cropmarks and earthworks, possibly relating to a medieval post medieval boundaries and/or drainage ditches associated are visible on aerial photographs (S1-S4). These features are located to the south of Mutford Common, as depicted on Hodskinson’s map of 1783 (S5). Only the more substantial features have been included within the mapping, as it is not clear how archaeological significant the remaining features are and it was felt that they did not warrant mapping individually.
