Full Description
February 2016. Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Beauty National Mapping Programme.
The former earthworks of a probable post medieval flood bank and a possible mound are visible on aerial photographs (S1). It is possible the mound relates to a building platform or feasibly a saltern, although it must be noted that the mound looked less convincing on other aerial photographs and may just relate to an island in between natural channels. Although note the nearby site containing mounds of probable medieval to post medieval date (BAW 049). Recent photography suggests that the earthworks are now largely levelled.
