Description

Cropmarks of ring ditches, field boundary (marked on OS 6" as such, but removed by time of photograph). <1> <2> Cropmarks include linear features, concentric ring ditch, part of a possible rectangular enclosure/or field and pits. Also a possible hemispherical enclosure. <3> - <8> See aerial photographs <9> - <17>. Note: EHER 8883 also records the cropmark of a ring ditch to the immediate south-west of this record, and which may be a contemporary feature. The linear cropmarks recorded by this record may continue into the area recorded by EHER 7963 to the north-west. Note also that part of this cropmark complex has been excavated, see EHER 81951-81955. NRHE data transfer: NRHE 380852/NMR TL 80 NW 27 Cropmarks, ring ditch and trackways, linear features/enclosure. <18> <19> <20> October 1976. Field visit. The cropmarks visible on the above air photographs represent a ring ditch (EHER 81948), together with old field boundaries and glacial marks. The sites are adjacent to RRX 1076 on river gravel at present under plough. Nothing is visible on the ground. <21> Note: the field boundaries and glacial marks described by the NRHE are probably those to the immediate west of Luards and north of Ulting Lane. NRHE 380864/NMR TL 80 NW 31 TL 825085: Cropmarks subrectangular enclosure, linear features. <22> Nothing visible on the ground; the site lies on the flood plain of the River Chelmer and is under plough.
