A possible medieval to post medieval curvilinear bank and linear boundary bank and ditch, as well as a possible enclosure are visible as earthworks and cropmarks on aerial photographs (S1)-(S5), on land to the south of Ivy Farm, Deopham.
The curvilinear bank feature runs from TG 0581 0089 to TG 0549 0049, and appears to represent some form of boundary. It is perhaps related to the earthworks of medieval tofts and tracks visible to the north (NHER 21116) and/or to the west (NHER 53370).
Indeed, a curving ditch feature or possible enclosure is visible, centred on TG 0575 0087, which may represent a possible enclosure, measuring at least 121m x 51m, and appears to be on the same alignment as the earthworks visible in NHER 21116 to the north.
A linear ditch and bank are visible to the west, running east-west between TG 0530 0056 and TG 0553 0057, parallel to a field boundary visible on the Tithe map (S6), and they have therefore been considered to be medieval to post medieval in date.
