There is a great recent book on Suffolk's coastal defences. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Suffolks-Defende...1873592981
A great deal of attention is being paid to coastal/estuarine archaeology generally, as there is a recognition that it is at risk from erosion, climate change and development.
I agree on DoB database, though a lot of the errors have crept in from other databases, particularly when the feature is no longer extant. I often find that the recorded grid ref is wrong, for example, because it was originally written in a different co-ordinate system. Still, better a basic record than none at all, and thanks to Steve B for seeking to update the record. The local HER might also be interested in recieving this information...
