Full Description
Earthwork enclosure about 45m by 45m located within recently felled coniferous plantation. Banks survived to height of 25cm and width of about 1.5m. Noted on 1:10,000 map by Ordnance Survey. No new planting taken place yet. Recently felled Scots pine timber stacked on edge of ride to north, possibly damaging north corner.
K.Sussams (Suffolk Archaeology Unit), 30 May 1995.
Tithe map shows this enclosure to be a small plantation enclosure.
The banking of early plantations on heath was a common phenomenon in Breckland (compare to Suffolk sites at Elveden [ELV 034] and Knettishall [KNE 021]).
K.Sussams (SAU), 2 January 1996.
