Monument record PSG 063 - Earthwork of probable medieval to post medieval field boundary or boundary bank

Please read our .

Summary

A probable field boundary or boundary bank of medieval to post medieval date is visible as a soilmark on aerial photographs and as an earthwork on visualised lidar data. As the earthwork is visible on lidar visualisations from a relatively recent survey (2022), it is likely that it still survives.

Full Description

September 2026. South-West Suffolk Claylands Aerial Investigation and Mapping (AI&M) Project.
A probable field boundary or boundary bank of medieval to post medieval date is visible on aerial photographs (S1), probably as a soilmark, and as an earthwork on visualised lidar data (S2). It may be associated with the minor watercourse to its west, defining the edge of its valley. As the earthwork is visible on lidar visualisations from a relatively recent survey (2022), it is likely that it still survives.
