Full Description

September 2015. Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty National Mapping Programme.
A complex of linear cropmarks representing field boundaries, possible trackways and enclosures are visible on aerial photographs (S1)-(S10). They were previously recorded as STT 004.
A late prehistoric date has tentatively been suggested for them in the light of their apparent relationship with the barrow cemetery recorded as SHER STT 064. The photos which showed the linear features in greatest detail were difficult to rectify and therefore their location should be noted with a hint of caution.
E. Ford (Norfolk Historic Environment Service), 24th September 2015.
