Ancient Settlement in Suffolk
MattRoon writes: Bivalate enclosure, at least in part, which must surely indicate some sort of defensive purpose.
Irregular quadrangular in plan, 250m E-W. 210m N-S. Earthwork consists of a double bank and ditch. In 1911 the bank on the N side was 9 feet high and on the SW side 6 feet high. Inner bank higher than the outer (S1). Interior has various lumps and depressions (S2)(S3). Now under grass (S1). Double banked earthwork enclosure, 7-8 acres, seen as cropmarks (S6, S7). Has been suggested that this is an IA hillfort, but as yet there is no evidence to confirm this. Source: https://heritage.suffolk.gov.uk/Monument/MSF5964
