Full Description

July 2014. Lothingland, Lowestoft and North Suffolk Coast and Heaths National Mapping Programme.
Undated earthwork ditches are visible on aerial photographs (S1-S2) to the north of Grove Farm, Kessingland. It is possible that these features relate to former field boundary ditches although they may, at least in part, relate to former tree lines within The Grove, depicted on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey Map (S3)
