January 2017. Aerial photograph interpretation. A series of possible ditches of uncertain date are visible as cropmarks on air photos. These are mostly oriented near north to south. A second series of possible ditches of uncertain date are visible as cropmarks on air photos. These linears are mostly oriented near north-east to south-west and near east to west. A ditch of uncertain date is visible as a poorly defined cropmark on air photos. It is aligned northwest to south-east. Cropmarked linears and a macula are visible on air photos. These features may indicate the remains of ditches and a large pit but the date of these features is not known. The linears are straight and aligned north to south and east to west. One of the linear intersects the macula. Three small pits are visible as cropmarks on air photos. The date of these features is not known. Possible ditches of uncertain date are visible as faint cropmark on air photos. They share no common alignment and may have no archaeological significance. <1>
