Cropmarks of undated trackways, ring ditches, pits, an enclosure and linear features, south of Tendring village (EHER 3043)

Cropmarks of undated trackways, ring ditches, pits, an enclosure and linear features are visible on aerial photographs.

Cropmarks, consisting of one curving trackway at the eastern edge of the site running north-west to south-east with linear features abutting it to the west, and a second trackway heading north-east to south-west cutting it to the east. Four ring ditches are visible, one double-ditched; also pits and other linear features. On NMR aerial photographs a subrectangular enclosure is apparent with a subcircular annexe adjoining its north side, cut by a north-west to south-east aligned trackway. Possibly a third trackway parallel to the second one described above also cuts the enclosure, and abuts onto the first north-west to south-east track. <1> - <10> See also <11> - <14>.
