February 2017. 'Brecks from Above' and Breckland National Mapping Programme.
The area of earthworks relating to possible post medieval water meadows described above was not identified by the survey. Although some earthwork features possibly related to water management were identified, these did not conform to the pattern typical of water meadow sites. As a consequence, no features were mapped at this site. In Suffolk, the suggested water meadows are recorded as SHER BNH 116.
