Monument record EKE 040 - Cropmarks of fragmentary ditches and field boundaries of unknown date

Please read our guidance about the use of Suffolk Historic Environment Record data.

Summary

The site of fragmentary ditches and field boundaries of unknown date is visible on aerial photographs. The lack of relationship with the ditches and the surrounding landscape would suggest a pre-medieval date. Given the amount of Roman and Saxon activity in the area, it is possible that at least some of the components date to either period.
