Full Description
A substantial bank of unknown date, possibly the remains of a seabank or causeway, is visible as an earthwork on aerial photographs, centred on TM 20733356 in Erwarton parish. The bank is located inland of the existing seabank, close to where Johnny All Alone Creek runs into the River Stour. The bank is 165m in length and runs across a valley area between two areas of slightly higher ground. (S1-S4) The position of the bank suggests that it may be the remains of an earlier seabank or perhaps a causeway across an area of wetter ground. (S5)
