Full Description
1948. RAF air photography.
A possible sea bank is visible as an earthwork extending from TF 6403 2646 SE to TF 6437 2628.
Its location suggests that it is a genuine feature, and it is probably post medieval in date.
However, it may not be archaeological, resulting instead from either drain digging or cleaning.
