Full Description
July 2014. Lothingland, Lowestoft and North Suffolk Coast and Heaths National Mapping Programme.
Undated linear cropmarks, including at least one possible trackway are visible on aerial photographs (S1-S2) on land to the west of Blower’s Lane, Rushmere.
In a similar way to those recorded to the south (SHER RMR 017), it is possible that they represent Roman period field boundaries and a possible trackway, but they may relate to post medieval field boundaries and/or drainage ditches which are not depicted on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map (S3).
E. Ford (Norfolk Historic Environment Service), 30th July 2014.
