Monument record LCS 067 - Cropmarks of uncertain archaeological significance
Please read our guidance about the use of Suffolk Historic Environment Record data.
Summary
Cropmarks of uncertain archaeological significance have been recorded from aerial photographs. They comprise what has been interpreted as a causewayed ring ditch, together with other, unspecified cropmarks, possibly tracks. Their archaeological significance is doubtful, however, and they may instead be of natural and/or recent agricultural origin.
