Please read our guidance about the use of Suffolk Historic Environment Record data.
Summary
A possible ring ditch is visible as a cropmark on aerial photographs. It is undated, but if it does represent an archaeological feature, its size, topographic location and archaeological context – sited in proximity to a probable Bronze Age barrow cemetery SHER 045 – suggest that it is most likely to be the site of a Bronze Age round barrow.
