other prehistoric features and activity to be present within this area. Two urns were found near Bridge Farm to the north of Little Bealings in 1840 (WA425) and further activity could lie in this area.
160. A number of Anglo-Saxon and medieval findspots and scatters are also present all through the cable route area (WA99, 113, 275, 276, 321, 328, 374, 377, 381, 382, 432, 433, 444, 505, 571) and the landscape of the Deben village is known to have been used throughout this period. While the historic core of many of the villages can be assumed to lie in the vicinity of their medieval churches further settlement and activity may lie within their hinterlands. In particular the find of a brooch in conjunction with a probably human phalange (WA367) may indicate a burial or cemetery site just to the south of the where the route cross the A12 at Martlesham.
161. The route of the cable crosses the River Deben and associated areas of marshland and reclaimed land. In doing this it passes through several post-medieval flood banks (WA132, 162, 340). Post-medieval industry is also located along the route in the form of possible quarry (WA173, 316) and kiln sites (WA300, 332).
162. Modern activity along the line of the cable route is concentrated at Bawdsey where the remains of a pillbox (WA98), gun emplacement (WA100), beach scaffold (WA582) and the anti-aircraft ‘diver’ battery (WA103) are situated. Three possible bomb craters have also been identified from aerial photographs in this area (WA104). Further WWII remains are seen at Woodbridge (WA341, 356). WWII remains in particular often have a more immediate historical interest and a higher heritage value for many people.
163. Additionally a large number of cropmarks have been identified along the cable route, such features are not directly dated though form and association suggest dates from the Neolithic to the post-medieval period. A number of these form circular features, typically known as ring ditches, these can be the remains of prehistoric hut circles or barrows. A possible ring ditch lies to the south-west of Hemley (WA214), interpreted as hut circle, while within a complex of cropmarks north of Waldringfield are six possible ring ditches (WA253). Just to the north of this, where the route crosses Waldringfield road and within another large area of cropmarks (WA306) a ring ditch is visible on aerial photographs, cut by the modern road (WA317). A double circled ring ditch has been identified on the north side of Pound Lane, Little Blakenham (WA555) and an oval cropmark just to the east of the convertor station location may be a Neolithic long barrow (WA573). A possible ring ditch has also been identified by the geophysical survey. In the vicinity of Newbourne a number of possible barrows lie adjacent to the route (WA220, 224, 240).
