Full Description

March 2014. Lothingland, Lowestoft and North Suffolk Coast and Heaths National Mapping Programme.
An undated linear ditch feature is visible as an earthwork on aerial photographs (S1) to the west of St Andrew’s Church, Sotherton. The curvilinear earthwork ditch runs roughly east-west through the field, and it may represent a worn path or droveway through the field. Since it was only visible on one set of photographs it has been recorded with a note of caution. The feature is levelled and no longer visible on more recent photography (S2)
E. Ford (Norfolk Historic Environment Service), 15th January 2014.
