Monument record CHL 003 - Possible Later Prehistoric or Roman rectilinear field systems, visible on aerial photographs.

Field system with rectilinear form. One field ditch appears to respect ring ditch, CHL 011. Lying a short distance N of a second ring ditch CHL 012 (S1).
Also C8 sword pommel - see CHL 031.
At least two phases of possible Later Prehistoric or Roman rectilinear field systems are visible as cropmarks on aerial photographs, centred on TM 20573700 in fields to the south of Chelmondiston village. The possible field systems are defined by a series of linear ditches, visible on two alignments, one centred on TM 20703704 and aligned NNE to SSW and one centred on TM 20523696 aligned NE to SW. In both cases the linear ditches appear to form the sides of rectilinear enclosures, whilst one of the ditches from the phase aligned NE to SW appears to respect the possible barrow CHL 001. The two field systems appear to bear no relation to the layout of the modern field system and it is possible that they date to the Later Prehistoric or Roman periods. (S1) (S2) (S3)
