Full Description
June 2014. Lothingland, Lowestoft and North Suffolk Coast and Heaths National Mapping Programme.
Undated fragmentary linear ditches are visible as cropmarks on aerial photographs (S1-S2), on land to the north of Churchfarm Marshes, Kessingland. Medieval finds from nearby (SHER KSS 009) would suggest a possible Medieval date for these features.
It is possible that they represent Medieval field boundaries or enclosures, and that the archaeological features extend further than those that are mapped.
