Full Description
February 2015. Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Beauty National Mapping Programme.
Multiple trackways of possible medieval to post medieval date are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs (S1-S3) on land to the south of Dunwich Forest, Westleton. They are visible in the vicinity of a trackway depicted on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map (S4), and it appears from recent Lidar imagery (S5) that they have now largely been levelled.
