Full Description
Contemporary records state, “Spigot mortar position. Dines Farm, Ipswich Road, Arable field E of road. Map ref; 486507”. (Mil.Ed.) <1> Dines Farm has not been traced but the Military Grid Reference equates to a position just N of Blackbrook Farm, which is given as the owner. This is indeed E of Ipswich Road amid arable fields. However, at the grid reference given the widening and redirection of Ipswich Road has obliterated the area immediately E of the former route of the roadway. Without more evidence, the NGR above is that of the Military Grid Reference.
