Type and Period
Description
RAF aerial photographs show cropmarks of small straight ditches dividing a field up into smaller parcels. They look like old field ditches. No finds were made when the site was visited by an OS field officer in 1949. Mr C A Barton suggested that the ditches represented an earthwork that he had previously reported to Colchester Museum. <1> <2>
NRHE data transfer:
Air photo site, at TL 7550 1555. Field at present used for pasture. Small straight ditches running across the field dividing it into smaller parcels of land. They have every appearance of old field ditches. Numerous rabbit scrapes & molehills failed to yield a single sherd or piece of building material. Mr C A Barton seems to think these small ditches represent an earthwork & he says that it was he who reported them to the Hall at Colchester Museum. <2> <3>
