Monument record BML 047 - Multi-phase cropmarks

Please read our .

Summary

The cropmarks of fragmentary and multi-phase ditches and enclosures are visible on aerial photographs. The date of the cropmarks is uncertain, but elements may range from the later prehistoric to the medieval to post medieval periods. A small rectangular enclosure is located in close proximity to Roman material (BML 003) and may date to this period, however equally the Roman material may be derived from activity associated with other cropmark elements.

Full Description

August 2015. Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Beauty National Mapping Programme.
The cropmarks of fragmentary and multi-phase ditches and enclosures are visible on aerial photographs (S1-S2). The date of the cropmarks is uncertain, but elements may range from the later prehistoric to the medieval to post medieval periods. A small rectangular enclosure is located in close proximity to Roman material (BML 003) and may date to this period, however equally the Roman material may be derived from activity associated with other cropmark elements. It is worth noting that some of the boundaries have a ‘pitted’ appearance.
