Post medieval cropmarks of field boundaries, south west of Ravens Green (EHER 3149)

Cropmarks comprising a ditched trackway running NW-SE, with a linear feature abutting it at right angles to the N, and other linear features also generally aligned NW-SE. Trial trenching suggests that the features are post medieval field boundaries or non-archaeological and no features earlier than post medieval were found.

Original HER entry merged with NRHE data import. Cropmarks comprising a straight double ditched trackway running NW-SE, with a linear feature abutting it at right angles to the N, and other linear features also generally aligned NW-SE. There is possibly part of a subrectangular enclosure. <1> - <5> Trial trenching, 1993 Nine trenches were machine excavated to examine a cropmark complex on the gravel subsoil of the Tendring Plateau. The complex appeared to include rectilinear enclosures and ditched trackways. Upon examination a number of cropmarks could be related to post-medieval field boundaries, whilst others proved not to have an archaeological origin at all. With the possible exception of one ditch, which contained no finds, no features earlier than the post-medieval period were found. <6> The features were marked on the NMR <7>
