NHER 31319 (Monument record) - Undated earthworks west of Lyng House

1995.
Pasture to west of Lyng House contains an east to west ditch with one ancient tree stump in northern half of field; probable close or field boundary.
Southern half has a less regular east to west scarp, facing south with lower level (1m) areas which look like extraction pits (one still shown on 1904 Ordnance Survey map) between it and the road to south.
(S1) shows slight evidence of features with a rectangular outline approximately 20m by 10m adjacent to scarp; not convincing at ground inspection.

The earthworks of a ditched boundary of probable medieval to post medieval date are visible on aerial photographs to the west of Lyng House (S2). The site is centred on TG 0693 1622. A number of earthworks relating to settlement, boundaries and routeways of a comparable date have been recorded on aerial photographs within the area, see NHER 14402, NHER 50738 and NHER 50739.
The ditch is 2-3m across and runs parallel to the main field boundary to the north. A number of narrower ditches are also visible to the south of the ditched boundary. The remainder of the earthworks visible on the aerial photographs were not mapped as they appeared to relate to post medieval clay extraction.
