Cropmarks of undated pits, trackways and rectangular enclosures (EHER 7969)

Cropmarks of undated pits, rectangular enclosures and trackways may indicate the remains of a deserted medieval settlement. Undated ring ditches are also noted in this area.

Cropmarks of rectangular enclosures, trackways (possibly the remains of a deserted medieval settlement?). <1> 1976. Ordnance Survey visit. According to OS 1976, "the site lies on a slight north slope under plough. A disused gravel pit centred TL 8264 0750 with associated trackway leading to the south-west is visible but elsewhere the features visible on the aerial photographs have been ploughed out. No surface features that would indicate medieval desertion were seen on the ground". <2> in <1>. <3> from NRHE. Cropmarks include pits, linear features, pits, ring ditches. <4> - <8>. TL 827 076. First ring ditch at this location. <9> See also <10> <11> <12> <13>. See EHER 7970 for adjacent cropmarks. NRHE had located this in the field immediately to the south (centred TL 8273 0730), but the NGRs included in the description make it clear that this is incorrect, and that the features described are in fact further to the north.
