Full Description

August 2014. Lothingland, Lowestoft and North Suffolk Coast and Heaths National Mapping Programme.
A curvilinear ditch feature is visible as a soilmark on aerial photographs (S1) on land to the west of Moat Farm, Kessingland. The feature is broad, blurred, and only visible on one set of aerial photographs, and therefore its archaeological provenance is in doubt. However it is possible that it represents a former moat or curvilinear enclosure.
