Full Description
July 2003. NMP.
The majority of the ditched features within this site are irregular and indistinct (S1). There are linear features aligned north to south and approximate east to west directions and random curvilinear features that may actually be caused by the courses of former saltmarsh channels. There is a probable linear bank, aligned in an approximate north-west to south-east direction and visible for a length of 146m, running from TF to TF 6366 1930 to TF 6373 1917. There is a narrow ditch running parallel to the bank on its eastern side, although this is probably too distant to be the quarry for the bank. These are probably all land boundary and drainage features and probably date to the medieval or more likely post-medieval periods.
There is a sub-rounded mound at TF 6388 1922, positioned within the angle of bank that appears to heave been formed from the spoil of a drainage ditch. This feature may simply be a mound of drainage spoil, but there is a slim chance that this features is the result of an industrial activity, possibly salt production.
