Full Description
April 2006. Norfolk NMP.
A rectilinear ditch is visible as an intermittent cropmark on an aerial photograph (S1), centred around TG 5137 0588. It mirrors the pattern of enclosure depicted on 19th and 20th century maps, such as Bradwell Tithe Map (S2), and is therefore likely to also date to the post medieval period. It presumably pre-dates the East Suffolk railway (NHER 13574) which cuts across it. It probably marks the line of a field drain (whether a bush drain or tile drain), although it could have been an open ditch which also acted as a field boundary.
