Full Description
Ditched trackways, field boundaries and possible crofts, potentially dating from the late prehistoric period to the post-medieval period, are visible as cropmarks on aerial photographs, centred on circa TM227449 to the north of Foxhall Heath, Kesgrave parish. The most easily identifiable feature is a track, running irregularly north-east for circa 320 metres from circa TM225448. Abutting the northern edge of this track are a number of field boundaries, spaced between 30 to 50 metres apart. The trackway itself appears to match a field boundary marked on the First Edition Ordnance Survey map of circa 1884, and the field boundaries are on a similar alignment to the surrounding modern field system. It is probable that the track and field boundaries either influenced the form of, or are the direct remains of, a medieval or post-medieval field system. The cropmarks are probably associated with similar features circa 300 metres to the west (see KSG 026) (S1 - S4)
