Cropmarks of undated rectangular enclosures (EHER 3877)

Cropmarks of at least four undated rectangular enclosures are visible on aerial photographs.

Eastern half of rectangular enclosure exhibiting a broad ditch. <1> <2> <3>. Some boundaries extant on 1973 aerial photograph <5>. Aerial photography examined in 2008 revealed the western half of this enclosure, although the ditch did not appear to be as broad. The entire rectilinear enclosure was re-plotted and measures approximately 67m by 95m, with a possible ditch sub-dividing the enclosure. Also visible on the 2008 photography were a further three possible enclosures, that were also mapped. Two of the possible enclosures are conjoined and irregular in shape and are approximately 156m by 84m and 85m by at least 110m, with one possible entrance. The southern part of these conjoined enclosures is cut by a modern track and it does not appear to continue to the south on the available photography. It is possible this these features are part of a field system, although this does seem unlikely. A fourth rectilinear enclosure can be seen to the north and is truncated by a field boundary. This enclosure has curved corners, no visible internal features or entrances and is 59m across. <8-9>
