Full Description
A possible relict sea bank, of unknown date, is visible as a low, broken earthwork from TM41805652 to TM 42185643. Although the line does seem to form a break between smaller, more irregular fields 'inland' and larger, more rectilinear fields to seaward, it is possible that the feature is actually formed by accumulated ditch clearing debris.
