Type and Period

Description

Cropmarks centred on above NGR: indistinct photos, but possibly enclosures. <1> OS field report 1976, "no significant features seen on the ground which is at present under plough. The area lies on level gravel". <2> Aerial photograph refs: <3> <4>. Aerial photographs are not in SMR, but subrectangular enclosures(?) plotted and linear features also. See also <5> - <8>. Note: The mapped polygon is not representative of the extent of the cropmarks and instead probably reflects the modern land parcel within which the cropmarks are situated. NRHE data transfer: TL 895092: Cropmarks indistinct but possible enclosures. <3> <4> September 1976. Field survey. The vague ditches visible on these air photographs appear to represent ploughed out field boundaries. No significant features seen on the ground which is at present under plough. The area lies on level gravel. <9>
