Monument Number 391591

Hob Uid: 391591
Location :
Suffolk
East Suffolk
Huntingfield
Grid Ref : TM3390074360
Summary : Circular enclosure, may be the remains of a ringwork.
More information : (TM 33917436) A broad circular ditch enclosing a slight mound visible on air photographs, apparently with a rectangular enclosure to the north-west. (1)

At TM 33907437 a low narrow ridge extending into a stream flood-plain has been cut by a circular ditch, which ploughing has reduced to a dark vegetation mark, about 48.0 m in diameter. The maximum height from ditch to centre of the feature is about 1.0 m, but this is due to the natural fold of the ridge; there is no obvious artificial mound. There is no trace of the adjoining enclosure to the north west. No finds have been made. The Tithe Map of 1846 refers to the fields concerned as "Lower Brick Kiln". No local or documentary evidence has been found to ensure classification of this enclosure. Superficially it resembles a ploughed-down ringwork but the siting is poor defensively.
Surveyed at 1:2500. (2)
