90. Much of the land along the lower Deben area is reclaimed land, which includes much of the eastern end of the Study Area. Large-scale land reclamation is thought to have taken place in the post-medieval period (Hegarty and Newsome 2005, 76-81). Sea defences and flood banks are recorded along the areas of the Deben within the Study Area as far as westwards as Martlesham Creek (WA132, 161, 162, 251, 340). Other features that relate to the riverine nature of the landscape such as bridges (WA157, 207, 269, 358), a mill (WA269) and a steam powered barge (WA550) are also recorded. Oyster beds cut into the inter-tidal saltmarsh for the cultivation of shellfish are depicted on the 1903 OS map (WA164).
91.
Possible kin sites are indicated either side of the Creek at Martlesham based on field names (WA300 and 332) as well as the designated lime kiln site in Claydon (WA67). Another lime kiln site is noted in the HER near the outskirts of Claydon (WA526) though a review of the historic map evidence suggests this is not in use until the 19th century. A brick kiln is shown on the 1838 OS map near Great Bealings (WA404) and another to the north of Martlesham Creek (WA296), an artefact scatter of brick and tile is also recorded for this last location.
92.
In addition to the designated post-medieval buildings within the Study Area (see Section 1.5.3) the 17th century Bramford Hall (WA562) and an 18th century barn near Akenham (WA499) are locally listed. A possible dovecote site (WA355) and post-medieval garden features (WA359, 399) and park pale (WA385) are also noted in the HER.
1.5.4.6 Modern 93. Most of the modern entries within the HER for the Study Area relate to defensive structures and installations relating the First (WWI), Second (WWII) and the Cold War. The majority lie at the coastal end of the cable route around Bawdsey, though entries are seen throughout the Study Area (see Appendix 25.2).
94. Of particular note is nationally important Bloodhound Missile Site near Bawdsey (WA114), first part of the ROTOR programme which sort to improve Britain’s radar coverage after the WWII it was reopened in 1979 as a surface to air (SAM) missile site against the rising tension of the Cold War.
95.
The vulnerability and importance of the costal location during the WWII can be seen with bomb craters recorded along the length of the Study Area (WA104, 165, 401).
